Who Were You?
Who were you?
 Did you have a family? 
 What about friends?
 What was your story?
 
 I walk by you everyday and wonder
 What would it have been like to know you? 
 But nothing bothers me as much as this
 How did you die? 
 
 Did it hurt?
 Were you alone?
 These questions fill my brain 
 As I kneel on the damp grass
 
 You were only seventeen 
 Much too young to die 
 You couldn’t have lived life like you wanted
 Or did you?
 
 Do you miss it here?
 Or are the troubles of Earth no longer your problem?
 Are you truly at peace?
 Or do your memories still haunt you?
 
 I see flowers all around 
 But never any for you
 Were you forgotten?
 Did they leave you?
 
 Do you hear me when I talk to you?
 Or am I just crazy?
 I don't think I ever would have met you
 But now I wish I had 
 
 Could we switch places?
 Let me go where you are and you come back
 No one would ever notice
 You could have you life back and I could be free
 
 Now you're nothing but an abandoned gravestone 
 And I am a lost soul
 Both alone in our lives
 Forever in the dark
