Who Loved You Best
forget-me-nots lay on the table
water leaks from a cracked vase
the motor car is running in a closed garage
you've finally escaped life to a new place
people who loved you never knew you
the dog bark echos in the backyard
curtains dance from the open window breeze
no returning now you've gone to far
nosy neighbor calls the police
a fireman breaks in your garage
your lifeless body keeled over
to you life was just a mirage
grieving family can not understand it
into the ground you are laid to rest
unsigned letter read over and over for reasons
why-haunts those who loved you best
