lvii. gone too soon

Sad song fic, yay! Gone too soon by Simple Plan. TW: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS

Hey there now,

Where'd you go?

You left me here,

So unexpected,

Tony hasn't moved since he heard the news: Peter Parker was dead.

You changed my life,

I hope you know,

Cause now I'm lost,

So unprotected,

The billionaire had never expected to love the kid more than life. Peter had worked his way into the man's heart and Tony honestly didn't mind all too much.

In a blink of an eye,

I never got to say goodbye,

The doe eyed teen that never failed to be happy, had taken his own life. He was gone without warning.

Like a shooting star,

Flying across the room,

So fast, so far,

You were gone too soon,

Peter was just a kid. He was supposed to live a whole lot longer than Tony. He was supposed to stay.

You're a part of me,

And I'll never be the

Same here without you,

You were gone too soon,

Losing the kid was like losing a limb, except it was so much more painful.

You were always there,

Like a shining light,

On my darkest days,

You were there

To guide me,

Peter was happy. That's what he'd always led everyone to believe, with his excited rambles and adorable smiles.

Oh I miss you now,

I wish you could see,

Just how much your

Memory will always

Mean to me,

Tony could honestly say he'd give up everything he owns and then some for just another minute with the boy.

In a blink of an eye,

I never got to say goodbye,

Tears drip down Tony's face now, and he's sure Friday is saying something.

Like a shooting star,

Flying across the room,

What was he supposed to do now? How was he supposed to move on?

So fast, so far,

You were gone too soon,

You're a part of me,

And I'll never be the same

Here without you,

How was he supposed to just never have another lab day? How was he to never hear another rant about the newest Lego set again?

You were gone too soon,

Shine on! Shine on!

Onto a better place,

Everyone would probably say "he's in heaven now" and even though I he'd say that was shit, he hopes with everything in him that it's true.

Shine on! Shine on!

Will never be the same,

He hopes that Peter is happy now, when he couldn't be here. Closing his eyes, Tony imagines those wide brown eyes and that adorable smile.

Shine on! Shine on!

Like a shooting star,

Flying across the room,

So fast, so far,

How could he wake up every morning knowing that his kid was dead? That he'd never see him again?

You were gone too soon,

You're a part of me,

And I'll never be the same

Here without you,

When Tony goes to sleep tonight, he knows he'll hope he won't wake up.

You were gone too soon,

A sob slips from Tony's throat. It's hard to breathe without his reason for living.

Shine on! Shine on!

You were gone too soon,

He wants to join his kid, follow his example. But he can imagine the disappointed look from his lab.

Shine on! Shine on!

You were gone too soon,

He lies his head on the table, crying silently. Gone, were the weekends where Peter would stay the night and be awed over everything no matter how many times he'd been there.

Shine on! Shine on!

You were gone too soon,

Gone, were the daily reports he left when he patrolled as Spider-Man. Gone, was his kid. Gone, was his happiness.

Have your daily dose of sadness! :D
