John
Here I sit wanting for a distraction
Needing to avoid my inevitable reaction
Not wanting to stop even for a meal
Not wanting to stop not wanting to feel
Oh how unfair to lose such a lovely friend
Knowing there is nothing that will cause my heart to mend
I can still hear the laughter feel the beat of your drum
I want to celebrate your life but instead I just feel numb
Looking for a distraction not wanting to feel
Need to keep busy this just can’t be real
Never again will I step up and tread the boards
Trying not to laugh as you steal the applause
What a great loss and dark day for us all
I really don’t want to feel no not at all
