Never Forgotten.

My heart is so heavy
From tragedy after tragedy

A life lost and nobody knows why
The youngest ones should never have to say goodbye

The pain is clear
and a silent scream is heard in every tear

Nobody deserved to die this young,
His song, it was thoroughly unsung

Why an open casket viewing?
Just another way to tear open hearts,
another harsh undoing

Sobs echo through the room as people see the body of
their brother
their lover
their son
their friend

One’s whose life shouldn’t have been put to an end

Friends and family carry the deceased
To the front of the church where he’s released

The father, grabbing his heart
The mother, completely falling apart
Words only mumbled from her lips,
and tears streaming from her eyes, she cries

Not one coherent thought,
just the haunt that her son is gone,
no matter how hard he fought

Suffering and sorrow
Knowing that everything is supposed to be normal,
only by tomorrow

To accept that he is really gone,
and our life is just supposed to go on

It’s unrealistic to think these broken hearts have that characteristic
The strength to move on,
when we know that he was a special one

At least he will live on forever,
Forgotten never
Always in our hearts
and in our lives, he will eternally be a part
