You Left



You forgot how much you were loved.
Maybe you weren't told enough.
You felt alone, all by yourself.
Life is hard; it became too tough.

You forgot that people cared about you.
Worries and doubts grew heavy.
You fought it, we know.
Maybe the depression lied to you, too.

You left the world on your own terms.
We are sad to see you go.
No more pain for you anymore.
You are missed more than you know.
