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.
