Just heard the news
My heart's in torment
Oh friend, why did you waste your life
Now it's too late
You can't see my tears
And I can never say goodbye
To your lost soul
Author notes
Option * Another dark and lonely night ~ "Grammy Awards for Silver Trophy Winners"
I wrote as soon as I got home right after getting the news of my friend's death. The original note is below.
I literally just got the news on my cell phone on my way home that one of my friends died of an overdose. I don't know what else to say.

Another simple but sad write, that just expresses how someone shouldn't die so young, because they still have a lot to do and a lot more to learn.
