Young Heart Early Wasted

Oh young heart early wasted
So full of pride and fire
A hungry life barely tasted
is now empty of desire
Stand tall rock of rememberance
Proudly bare the name,
Of one who lived without defense -
and sleeps without shame
Oh hear the voices calling
they know you've paid the cost
But why are no tears falling?
They know not what they've lost
The world will never know
all you could have meant to her -
The strength that you would show
The hearts that you would stir
And you will never see
The way they will love you
Only in death can you be
What in life was already true
Oh fresh breath early taken
Such a fire has burned away
And with too much beauty to be mistaken
about what you'll mean someday!
