uninvited

The pain was too great..
You left your world
Crawling half-assed,
broken-kneed
Whining into mine.
Two time loser
you shouldn't have jumped
you won't find attention
here.

I lifted your lifeless corpse
bones protruding from skin
crunched spine, collapsed skull
saw the stain you left
23 years and you are just
a spot on the sidewalk
side story on the news
your funeral is over
coffin closed without a sound
so many dry eyes

I am the only one who cried
Teary as I brought you over
Saddened at your arrival
It was not your time.
You were destined for much more
mediocrity.
You didn't have the stomach for greatness
it was a shame you had so much ability
so much potential to waste
so I cried.
I didn't cry for the life you left
I cried for the death you didn't deserve.
