Things I Didn't Want To Hear

This poem is for a friend whose funeral is today

Things I Didn’t Want To Hear

I’ve heard some things that I didn’t want to hear

And I know some things I wished I didn’t know

Yet I still can’t understand what made you leave us

And why you felt your only choice was to go

 

Whatever led you to that black conclusion

Your thoughts in such desperate strait

That you knew you couldn’t stay around with us

Such a sad, sad, wasteful fate
