remembering

flame haired and freckled
your smile lit a room
life was worth running into
full and joyful
you cared and gave
beyond yourself
now gone
no explanation
sweetness over
hope extinguished
confusion over joy
life to death
one bullet ended
a life promising
more
now gone
they say you did it yourself
i don’t understand
pain and confusion
now lives
in your place
silence
in the echo of your laugh
