Rest In Peace

Some knew him well
but others didn't even
take the time
to know him

i didn't know
what he was thinking
i didn't know
what was going
through his head

all i know is
something had to be wrong
for him to take his own life
for us not to see him anymore

for me this is hard
i thought he was ok
i thought he was nice
i even thought he was a lil' stubborn

but i didn't know him
as well as others
now i wish that
i had taken
the time
to get to know him
a little more

but hes gone now
i cant get to know him
i cant ask him
how his day was
i cant ask him
if he was doing ok

i cant do anything now
because hes gone
he took his own life
and i don't know why

now that desk
in front of me
will sit empty
because he wont
be coming back now
but hes in our hearts
forever and always
