From the lover you'll never know

A note scribbled down in tears

sits atop a mound of colour

Trying to work out these forgotten fears

From a family torn and lost

Flowers that soon will rot

Your teddy sits upon the mound, arms wide open

Melting, muddy and forgotten

 

For the journey now cut short

With an ending some had thought

If only you could see things

How bittersweat your song sings

 

From school friends and teachers bleeding

More flowers, notes and pleading

Hoping everyone remembers

A life now lost and untethered
