Consequences of Suicide

Such a bitter end
to my good friend

You stood so tall
through it all

But in the end they got you
with words of lies too

We've missed you now for one whole year
It feels like yesterday, as I shed a tear

I do understand your reasoning as to why
but that doesn't mean I will not cry

You died so young, you barely lived life
You never had a career, a pet, kids, or wife

A life lived with little experience
your mind had uptapped brilliance

We miss you now like we missed you then
Someday we will join you and see you again
