Undeserving Fate

My eyes were not prepared
For what they were about to read
'Til now I never had to learn
How to handle this type of grief

So I just sit here in silence
Shaking unbearably
And now nothing at all makes any sense
A fate so undeserving

You were an inspiration
You had so much more life to give
And unfinished aspirations
You had so much more life to live

I've finally come to the realization
Though it's still unsettling
I'll never see you again in person
But I'll hold a place for you in memory

Time passes on, words go unspoken
We're all so caught up in our lives
I hope it never goes forgotten
There was a mark you left behind

You were an inspiration
You had so much more life to give
And unfinished aspirations
You had so much more life to live

I know I should accept this
But I can't understand it
Your work here wasn't finished
You were only getting started

I never got the chance to say
Thanks for believing in me when no one else listened

You were an inspiration
You had so much more life to give
And unfinished aspirations
You had so much more life to live

My eyes were not prepared
For what they were about to read
