WHY?

You quit this life
Without saying goodbye
Now for the rest of our lives
We'll be wondering why?!

Life is a gift
That we should hold dear
Dying unnaturally
Brings more than tears

Frustration and Anger
Resentment and Pain
All over an act
Where nobody gains

Whatever it was
That drove your despair
Must erase thoughts
Of times once shared

The blackness that smothered
The love you spurned
Could you not confide
To one of us turn?

Your courage misspent
To do the deed
Could have changed tomorrow
Helped you succeed

The sadness hangs heavy
From those left behind
Trying to figure out
What went on in your mind

You quit this life
Without saying goodbye
Now the rest of our lives
We'll be wondering WHY?
