You should've been here.
Still be here.
And laugh your laugh.
And smile your smile.

Successes
and failures.
Unexpected marriages
and breakups we knew were coming.
I moved away and
so did some. You wanted
to move away but
you cannot. You're
tied to the ground
and to that same person
you felt, you decided
not worth going on
and living.

To that same person
you thought was not worth
another shot,

and you gave yourself a shot
that bought yourself
a peaceful darkness

and to us,
a dark hole, still smoking
from that trigger
you pulled, aimed at
that mirror that showed
you a person you hated,
that they hated.

You failed to see,
that person we all,
we all, thought
was worth every
happiness in the world.
