Sarah and I were happy,

happy as could be.

So when I left

Things still looked fine to me.

True, I stopped showing

as frequent as before

And that lost look he gave

As I walked out that door.

But I was Delirious

Blinded by Love

If only I had seen things

the way he does.

I would have seen the rivers

crossing up his arm.

I would have seen the half-crazed look

gracing his features now marred.

I would have seen the marks

The parallel lines.

I would have seen of the cigarettes

His nicotine patches now a lie.

I saw nothing though.

He was falling

I was happy.

He was dying

I was living.

He was lonely

I was surrounded by love.

He was gone

I was alive.

But since I'm just

an ignorant fool

I was still shocked

By the headlines in the news

THE WORLD'S ONLY CONSULTING DETECTIVE TAKES HIS OWN LIFE!

The report went on to say,

The drugs took their toll

But gun I practically fired

Did the most damage of all.

So Sherlock, I'm SO sorry

I failed you as a friend

But wherever you are

I'll meet you there in the end.
