He committed suicide at 18 years old.
He died of a broken heart.
The teacher told the class to repeat after her.
"If I have a broken heart, I might cry, but I will not kill myself."
Half the class repeated after her,
But she didn't notice the other half
Sitting still and silent.
A boy spoke up,
"There is no happily ever after.
There will always be some high wrong."
That was the moment our hearts broke,
And we're ended together
All at once.
