..for my friend, that passed away yesterday into another realm beyond my reach...
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love. See you on the other side!
I can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside I feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me
now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
that there's not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now
hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me
back in the womb it's much too real
in pumps life that I must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when I'll live
fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me
hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me
now the world is gone I'm just one
oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death
darkness imprisoning me
all that I see
absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
trapped in myself
body my holding cell
landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell (ONE-Metallica)

It does make a bit more sense now. The context, I mean. Although I have never experienced that situation, I can only imagine how does that feel. My condolences.
It is sad knowing that someone close to you felt so much pain that they saw the only escape was death. There are no answers to the questions that will plague you and there is nothing that can be done to change it.
Your friend is in another realm, but not beyond your reach...because he will forever be in your heart and memories. Reach for him there and remember the times you shared.
Hugs to all those who knew and loved him.
