The Gone Boy

How long did it take you to decide
To end your life
To commit suicide.
Was it the father who left you in mind
or was it your mother you hated
Or perhaps you knew she hated you as much.
Was it that lost love that you thought you had
Perhaps fear that she leave you as such.
That your life did not matter
was the mistake you made.
My dear boy, come back to us.
