I lost a friend today
Though I never said goodbye
He made no effort to share his pain
And we never saw him cry

A shameful, selfish way to end
his innocence is lost
They found him on the mountain side
Under the bitter morning frost

So much grief he's left behind
It ended with a gun
I hope his pain is over now
For ours has just begun

Music is the language God used to create the Universe

Not a good ending for him, nor a good beginning this year for you, the family and friends. Whatever caused him to do this, he is now beyond feeling any more pain.
My condolences to you and all those he left behind.

Darn, this is gut-wrenching. I am so sorry to read about your friend.

I hope he has find some peace and those left behind can one day understand what happened.

Hugs, Marti

what a horrible experience....I just lost a friend a week ago in a car crash...I feel your pain, I truly do.  Raw, emotional poetry and very well written.
