Eulogy

Dearly departed we are gathered here today
To pay tribute to a truly lost soul
Stated, his demise was untimely and unruly
His quest for eternal peace is at last complete
A lit match whose smile had once set ablaze
To the hearts of the ones who cared for him
That simply burned out in a cloud of smoke
Leaving us with charred remnants of the past
He left in a single page note, written in ink
That all he needed was to clear his mind
But sadly, he did it on the wrong side of a .45
Though we mourn for his leaving of this world
We pray that he finds peace in the next life
The suffering and late nights in agony he lived
Was a secret to all who thought they knew him
His only selfish act, was to leave us standing here
To mourn our own selfish desire to have him back
May god have more mercy then society did for him
