Wasted
When lives come to an end
And a story like yours comes to a close
Our loved ones often look back
Judging the actions you chose
We celebrate unforgettable memories
While becoming mournful and sad
That a precious life was too short
And your abrupt silence was unplanned
You had several options available
Many choices you could have made
Yet you chose to forever disappear
Leaving us, we feel utterly betrayed
No note or evidence was left behind
No motive has been revealed
Simply a waste of a short but good life
Leaving hearts that will never quite heal
