'Keep your eyes fixed on me,'
Was the last order you said
And through the blind panic
Those words stayed in my head
You said the phone call was your note
Your last dying say
But what you shall never know
Is that I too died that day
'He's my friend,' I mumbled
Pushing frantically through
All the crowds and the doctors
In an attempt to get to you
Your pulse was not there
And there was blood on the ground
Everyone was shouting
But I could not hear a sound
Why did you do this?
I screamed in my head
As people tried to hug me
And I prayed you were not dead
And our empty flat at Baker Street
Was cold as a stone
Where no consolation could I find
In the house I once called home
For you were the greatest man
That I have ever known
The most human man
But I am now alone
You weren't a fraud
I believed in you
And I'll always believe
If it's the last thing I do
So give me one miracle
Was all I said
In the grimy graveyard
Where we laid you to rest.
