Disappearing Friends
Vanishing loved ones
Where did you all go?
I remember a time when you held my hand
Wiped my face as I sweated out an addiction
Held me as I cried over a broken heart
You were there for me when I was hurting
When the pain was so bad I didn’t want to go on
I wasn’t there for you when he took you away
To that farm he called piggys palace
I didn’t hear your screams for help
I couldn’t run to you and pull you away
From his cold piercing eyes –
His offer of free drugs and a warm place to sleep
Was more than my offer of a floor to sleep on
I wish I had said goodbye to you
And told you how much you meant to me
It’s too late to say I love you
You had a heart of gold and a smile bigger than the
sun
You were there for me
Why wasn’t I there for you?
I am so sorry
You know I dreamed about you, before you were
killed
I dreamed that you came to me in my sleep
You told me goodbye- but you were still alive
Then, a year later I hear on TV
You are one of the 50 women missing
You, my friend, are gone
I wish you were just partying and out of touch with family and
friends
But in my heart I know
They found your DNA on the farm
Its over -excavators are unearthing more of my
friends
I wish you weren’t there - I wish I had saved you my
friend
