Memories are so painful now
Because they’re all I possess;
But one day they’ll be a comfort
And ease the loneliness.
You, the greatest lover of life,
Why did you have to leave?
All those friends you’ve left behind
Can only weep and grieve.
Death always seems so strange
To the living, but at 23,
Why you of all people
Leaving us so silently?
You were a loyal, supportive friend
To everyone you met.
Why go before we had the time
To repay you that debt?
You deserved so much more,
You never wanted to die.
So many things unexplained
We can only ask ‘why?’
