The unexpected loss

He left,

in this world, he will never be seen again.

It is unfair,

yet he won't ever come back.

The fault was in young recklessness

which will forever be embedded

in shoulders of guilt.

His loving smile and craziness

will never be given to the world, again.

I knew his soul,

yet it was long since we spoke.

Now I find myself wishing

I could change that.

He left without warning,

without a single goodbye!

The friendship that once was,

now there are sorrow and grief.

The wounds so fresh

that people are not aware of them.

Now all that is left is a burning candle, 

its flames linger above his soul,

it burns in our memories.

The unknowing mistake

left a permanent scar on so many.

The thought of him

is painful for the ones who once knew him.

Yet they smile at the thought

of once unselfish soul.
