Best Friend
A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)
Best friend
Living without you I can't breathe
It stirs up all the dust inside of me
It tortures my soul with gasoline
it lingers the dark unseen
It steals my happiness beyond repair
Every minute of every hour that you're not here
When I can't dream in the dark because you're not by my side
When I linger in the tears I've cried
When happiness only becomes a feeling
When I want to scream at the ceiling
If I could shout out in the silence
Would it bring you back or make me tense
I want to lie in this bed and sleep
But I can't dream if this pain is too deep
I want to find you in the shadows
To be where your love grows
But waiting is dying and I can't scream
I want to put these pebbles inside this stream
To have you close to me again
Because right now I'm missing my best friend
