Naming

Summary:

What do you call it when your best friend dies?

Work Text:

 

What do you call it when you survived

When the last gunshot fires and you're the one standing 

And yet you wish you were the one that died

Because flying is better than landing

 

What do you call it when your best friend is brave

And he saved your life with a cost

And what do you do when he calls out your name

Or when everything, everywhere’s, lost

 

What do you call it, that blood on the knife

It's dirty, it's dark, and it's red

What can you do without staining your hands?

Let your friend stain their jacket instead.

 

What do you say to your friend at the bar

With the lights down low and a strong stench of beer

Why do you wish, when you’ve both gone too far

That you’d told him you were glad he was here

 

What do you call it, the running away?

When it's dark and you're not near a phone

What do you call it, on your last living day

When you're sitting and dying alone
