Save Me

R.I.P. R.B. β€” 2/28/95 – 5/13/21

His first rehab roommate. Two weeks together. Released early. Relapsed. Overdosed. This poem became the most important song BGE ever made.

GRIEF & PURPOSE

Only knew you for two weeks, but I think about you daily

It is crazy

I hate you had to die just to save me

I am angry!

So full of promise I am like how can it be?

Conversations were honest, it is like we became family

You were like a little brother just reaching out for help

Instant connection because within you I would see much of myself

Our β€œGroup 30” was intense

Every night there was suspense

Sharing vulnerabilities

I can still feel the energy

Somebody please make sense!

The sorrow I feel inside

Kills my vibe

My heart still cries

Wishing you were still alive!

Only knew each other for two weeks, but I think about you daily

It sucks that you had to die just to save me

What could I have done?

What could I have said?

I know your demons are the culprits

Yet I blame myself instead

Dwelling on the past I know helped to seal your fate

I always told you in your mind do not let it rent real estate

We made so many plans

That vanished just as fast as they were made

You looked so happy last time I saw you

Thought you could fight and be brave

Went to give you dap

You wanted a hug and said you love me

I said I love you too

Little Brother I do not know what to do

Thought your father wrote you off

I told you see it from his angle

All you wanted was to be great

And get back in the life of MY Little Angel

Addict life is a daily battle

So fragile and you were squirrelly

Damn it hurts me!

Wish I could have just got released 2 weeks early

The issue is that I miss you

I will always value our friendship

You just made the wrong move

Wish you did what you said you intended

I am dealing with my grief

In this piece I have lamented

Till the time I am deceased

Your legacy with me has been cemented

Only knew you for 2 weeks but I think about you daily

The last tears I cried were for you

I hate it feels that you had to die,

Just to save me
