How Did You Belong So Lonely

I wrote this for Donna Minnick, her son committed suicide in April 2012. He was an amazing kind boy and I miss him just like everyone who he touched with his heart.

Today I'm standing here staring down at your engraved tombstone

Wiping a tear from the brim of my eye 

Thinking about that sweet smile you wore on your face everyday

Thinking about you're mother and father hoping they're okay

What about you're brother is he well

Does he still cry at night for you to come home

Does he wake up screaming from the nightmare that occured that day

How did you become so lonely...

I remember that day I met you up at the mcdonalds after school

We were standing outside and we were laughing 

Everyday in the hallways when I saw your face

I smiled and waved hello to you

But then that day came and I was staring at my cellphone screen

A tear fell my eyes and landed on the words he's gone

I dropped my phone and covered my eyes and cried

How did you become so lonely...

Walking down the hallways in the school

Holding my books close to me a tear falls from my eyes

I take a deep breathe and look up to you

I smile and say that I miss you 

I walked into the school office and went straight to the principle

I slammed his office door open and asked him why

He just stared at me with a confused look on his face

But he knew what was I talking about

I fell to the ground and cried

How did you become so lonely...

I created a patriots bully brigade in honor of you

I wanted everyone to know that they have someone

I just wish I was there when you needed someone

Then maybe you'd still be here with us

Today I'm standing here staring down at your engraved tombstone

Wiping a tear from the brim of my eye 

How did you become so lonely...

I understood... you put in good words and it came across. There are flaws - you're = you are and I know you meant your...personally, I'ld leave the flaws THIS is about your friend - not perfection.

"How did you become so lonely?" isn't always anyone's or even everyone's fault. Life is not a straight line affair and reasons don't excuse... Sometimes we hurt inside so greatly there IS NO outside to get to... but God, we do miss them.
