The Aftermath

Location

Why did you disappear in the mist?

You left without saying goodbye.

Did you realize how much you’d be missed?

 

You created those scars on your wrists.

You believed life was a lie.

Did you realize how much you’d be missed?

 

Everyday you’d insist,

That you were feeling fine, so

Why did you disappear in the mist?

 

You wrote all of your problems on a list,

I didn’t want to pry, but

Did you realize how much you’d be missed?

 

Clenching and unclenching your fists,

Rage and sadness filled your eyes.

Why did you disappear in the mist?

 

Since wasting time would be a risk,

You quickly pointed the weapon at yourself while you cried,

Why did you disappear in the mist?

Did you realize how much you’d be missed?
