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
