people always pass away seems this truth will never change those whose faces burn in mind sudden endings leave behind
i thought they'd always be around i never thought their suns would down but, worst of all, what makes me cry: i never got to say goodbye
now i fear of growing old living with the newer mold swimming in a sea of hate against the hurried current's fate schools of fish that can't relate to memories shared and friendships rare
take this sad reflective sigh let it make a last goodbye to those i loved and knew with whom i lived and grew: at the going down of the sun i will remember you
Dedicated to Chris Thompson, who died too young Sunday in my hometown.
