For all the Car Guys I've known...

Suzi's suicide
by Grant Gilbert, car guy

My sweetest sweetheart lost and gone
You've left me now, I'm all alone
It's been months now since your suicide
I'm left alone, on life's lonely ride

So many hours spent in your company
My friends all laugh when they look at me
They shake their heads and laugh out loud
They say my grief just makes them proud

You blew a hole right through your head
I tried and tried to resuscitate, but you were dead
My heart is broken that's for sure
The love we had was something pure

I wipe these tears with oily hands
I squeeze you tight I'm just a man
Mike just wet himself he laughed so hard
Tony's rolling around in the yard

Your broken pistons on the floor
I don't think I can take anymore
Vernon sits and drinks his beer
He wipes away a compassionate tear

His poor old Honda, blew its head
Died much the same way, now it's dead
We sat and wiped the tears with our shirts
While Mike and Tony howled with mirth
