Separated By Death

Before I met you

My life was like a speeding train

I was running off the tracks

You showed me love

A love that helped me

You set me straight

Like a razor blade

We had our ups and downs

But you always remained by my side

No matter how difficult I was to be around

Because of you I got to feel again

I didn't love you like I should have

But you knew I couldn't

And you were ok with that

I cared for you deeply

Like an addict I was hooked

Ruined and broken only for you

Your beautiful chaos

Through and through

Now you're gone

We're separated by death

I am veering off course again

Grasping at straws

Trying to fill the void

That sucks away

Everything good in me

Separated by death

Gone but not forgotten

Always in my mind

Forever in my heart

James Mackensie "Spud" Saylor

You were truly one of a kind

You made me feel young again

And I couldn't have asked for a better friend

Please peek in on the girls from time to time

Fly High Mackensie and please know I am just fine.
