Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today, the hallways were full of students mourning the loss of a friend.
Through the resounding sobs of hundreds, the unsettling silence besieged my head.
Those who knew him, and those who did not
They were all focused on one single thought:
"Why?"
Why would a smart, quiet boy with so much potential
Result to this violent end, leaving only a shell.
Two years ago today, after the announcement was made,
There were counselors brought in to help deal with the pain.
Because when he left, his pain didn't end
It was given to us, for us to mend
Now all I wonder is where are they now?
There are no counselors, no mourners. The tears have dried out.
Two years ago today was when he disappeared
But today is still unbearable, because no one remembered.
I hear laughter in this hallways, there's no pain or loss.
Except for those who remember, and hate those who forgot
