I had my sleeping pills in my hand
MJ died last night
Nothing but pills were found in his stomach
I have sleeping pills which are now banned
My father waited for me to talk
But I kept my cell switched off
The last two days I did not sleep
MJ was so great, I had miles to walk.
My friends, my poor friends
All of them wanted me to come back
I had sleeping pills in my hand
I stood dumb on the dock.
My hands shake feebly, my throats went dry
My tongue hangs black
Darker becomes my vision, as
Banging soul thumbs my eyes.
Don't die, don't leave us
There is no such sound splashing the silence
In my room,
The sea has entered my soul
The waves of grief roar all around.
