A/N: Ahh… another songfic, another disclaimer. I do not own anything, except this idea. There. Happy?

Waste

Earlier today I was really happy. I could have eaten a gallon of ice cream easily. I could have skipped home from school, and gotten weird looks. But not now. When I got home, the phone rang.

"Hello? Is Yamato there?"

"Yes, this is he what can I do for you?"

The woman's voice quivered.

"You were a friend of my son Taichi right?"

"Yeah, he's my best friend."

I shifted my weight uneasily from foot to foot, afraid of what is going to happen

"Um, Yamato? He died this afternoon."

Instantly I paled and swallowed hard. She continued.

"I found him on his bed when I came home from some errands. There was a razor in his hand and his wrist was bloody."

I nearly dropped the phone I was so shocked. He was such a happy guy. A little sad at times, but nothing a milkshake couldn't cure. I stuttered.

"Mrs. Yagami? I have to go, good-bye." Time seemed to slow. I sank down onto the floor, tears streaming down my face. I dried my face, and slipped my shoes on and ran out. I went to the small portable that my band used for rehearsal. I pulled out my favorite CD, Break the Cycle, and put it in the player. I just wanted to blast the music and be alone.

Your mother came up to me

She wanted answers only she should know

Only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal with the tears that rolled down her face

I had no answers 'cause I didn't even know you

But these words, they can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

How could you paint this picture?

Was life as bad as it should seem?

That there were no more options for you?

I can't explain how I feel

I've been there many times before

I've tasted the cold steel of my life

Crashing down upon me

But these words, they can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?

Or did he love you just too much?

Did he control you?

Did he live through you at your own cost?

Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

Well f**k them

And f**k her

And f**k him

And f**k you

For not having the strength in your heart

To pull through

I've had doubts

I have failed

I'm f**ked up

I have plans

Doesn't mean I should take

My life with my own hands

But these words, they can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

But these words, they can't replace

The life you

The life you waste.

I find a rusty old razor in the back and picked it up. As it nears my flesh, I think, 'I'm coming Taichi, I'm coming'

A/N: Well, that was depressing. *shrugs* oh well. As if Yamato has enough angst. R&R!
