A dedication to my friend killed in Iraq

A chapter in the book The Spiritual Path

The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.
Where did you go
Given a measure of time
Ripped from the world
Where did you go
Your body was broken
Torn apart
Like my life after
I needed a new start
At the bottom of every bottle
You were still with me
I tried to forget you
The pain was too deep
Dishonored and shamed
I drank to forget you
Where did you go
Years went by
Love I could not sow
I saw you there
Cold and alone
My heart was splintered
Pain so deep
Only my soul could know
The groans of my spirit
All that was left
I fell to my knees and wept
Where did you go

This is a dedication to another one of my friendâ??s who was killed in Iraq on our tour in 2005. We were very close. In the aftermath I began to drink quite heavily with the intentions of forgetting this raw deployment. Indeed my life did fall apart, however, today I find it much better to honor my friends through my writing.
