Awaiting Acknowledgement - Self Defense Family

To death I lost a friend

Odd among the odd ones

A jock of quiet thoughts

And then somber outcomes

And I love any man

About whom it can be said

Forged and walked his path

And was never led

There’s a funny itch

When someone leaves abruptly

In those folds of grey

Like they just got stuck there

No poetry I just miss him

I won’t try to be clever I just miss him

To death I lost a friend

Odd among the odd ones

A jock of quiet moments

And then somber outcomes

And I love any man

About whom it can be said

Forged and walked his path

And was never led
