A Song by Katie "Shorty" Graham
"Do you remember Erik?" "He was my friend." "What was he like?" "He didn't run away." "You're not so sure anymore, are you?"
He would have told me if something was wrong
He lived each day keeping on strong
He may have been the geekiest of all of them
It didn't matter, he didn't really care
He was loved by all that truly knew
The special person inside that stirred at every view
Erik was pretty boy, uh
He knew the true you inside
Erik could bring you up to speed
And Erik was given ecstasy
They said it drove him mad
They said it made him crazy bad
They kept on saying all this crap
Cause I know the real Erik
And Erik didn't run away
It's been 5 long months
Since they lost his tracks
It's been hell to try to go on
Since everyday I woke for him
And waited patiently for him
I got to know the real him
And Erik wouldn't run away
Erik was pretty boy
Erik knew the true you inside
Erik could bring you up to speed
And Erik was given ecstasy
They said it drove him mad oh
They said it made him crazy bad ooh
They kept on saying all this crap
Cause I know the real Erik
And Erik didn't run away
Erik was my first crush
Erik was my first love
To have them call him all these names
Make me wanna drive away
To place to escape
Where did Erik leave to
Did someone take him some other place
Where is this boy loved for his youth
And where in God is the faith
That will bring him home today
(Cries)
They said they found him in a ditch
All his body was bruised, and red
On his stomach was wrote out the word "BITCH"
Blood was spilled over his head
Though the only part of him they could not find
Was the brain for his mind
~So now we cry the tears of the fear that came true~
~We love you Erik~ (Cries) "Erik"
