A Life Was Taken Away

A painted black audi, damaged in every possible way A life taken away Bottles of beer and shots of vodka going smoothly down his throat Lonely, misunderstood, misguided, depressed This is someone I know The man I spent more in my childhood rather than my own father is gone Tears were shed, and hearts were broken I can’t believe he is gone my mother says I look at the ashes in the petite box All my memories of him trapped in my thoughts People surround the box pretending that they knew him I can’t help but look with disgust America is the land of the free However too much freedom is what took him away What an ironic American dream they would all say A man lost his way There’s nothing left for me to say Except… I wish I told you I loved you before it was too late.
