A Tic Tok Hit

26 lines
Life takes its toll in more ways than one,
A young man reflects as he stands alone
Upon on the Bridge
Mourning his friend.
He casts the flowers into the water far below.
One by one he sees them float slowly, down, down, on to the darkness.
Words scream through headphones, filling his head with a tic toc hit
A reminder to him of why he was here.
He nods his head to the rhythm of the rap song,
Hears the pleading of the words, he should have listened to.
To have understood the pain.
San Francisco. He’d travelled far to California. Over its seven bridges which also took their toll,
But not this awful toll which the death of his friend
Was taking.
It was then he remembers about the happy times.
Rappin’ with the man.
His fan worship for Kanye West
Who he’d idolised, thought he was the best
When he rapped about waiting for his croissant
At a famous Paris restaurant.
He takes one last look at the floating flowers
He could have stayed there for many hours
But he’s done the trip
Let’s go of the rails. Releasing the grip
And exhales.
