The Wall

Standing tall and proud
against the ebony wall
I see a reflection of you
as I look deep into it

you smile at me
that cockeyed grin of yours
laughing with that stupid smoke
dangling out your mouth

you haven't aged a bit
but I have
as I catch my reflection
I am all grown up now

we were just kids
sent to hell
some of us made it back
yet more of us never did

I miss you my brother
best friend thru all times
and I know that your are with me
even if only a reflection in the wall.
