III and IV (a song)

[pinupdoll]

You were my two favorite friends/ That just floated away from me/ You helped me feel wanted/ Then I fell back down to earth/ With a sickening crunch/ And that's when I realized/ You two were long gone/ Number III and IV were gone/

Because/ III and IV/ How I adored/ The sight of your smiles/ In the midst of pain/ The bracelets we wear/ Will begin our revolution/

I thought I would die/ When the news reached me/ Tears fell from our eyes/ As you checked on us one more time/ Then III and IV went through the Pearl Gates/ And blessed us once more/

Because/ III and IV/ How you made me feel/ When first went III/ And then fell IV/ People say I should be over with this now/ But I can't let go of the thought of losing you/ The bracelet I wear/ Is the only thing to remind me of your deeds/ And the memories you left in our hearts make us want to bleed/

My skin crawls at the memories of your death/ Most of my days I spend remembering you/ Before this epidemic accoured/ I want to paint myself/ In the warmth you left us/ I remember the hugs you gave/ And the jokes you made/ Crying doesn't work/ But sometimes bleeding does/ Memories written on your graves/ Love will be exchanged/ Your voices weren't in vain/ But the time we spend/ Putting makeup on our red eyes is/

III and IV/ Before I must leave you/ Return to my mourning/ I have to say one thing/ Everyone loved you/ Even the people who said they hated you/ Or the ones that made fun of you/ For there is nothing to be ashamed of a little love/ And I love you both/ So I hope you here this/ Floating on your wings of silk up in heaven/ I love you both/
