A tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman
So sad you're gone
Life seems unfair.
It's hard to imagine,
You lying there.
You lived on the edge, ignoring the signs.
Now you've left all that mattered behind.
Suddenly Philip, you've gone away,
There's no more tomorrows, no more todays.
The fans who adored you, stood by your side,
Can now only mourn you and how you died.
There's so much to ask,
So little to say.
Suddenly Philip, you've gone away.
The roles that you gave us,
Seemed so hard to play.
Quirky, contagious,
Misfit and gay.
Somewhat misguided, peculiar and queer,
Tragically human, romantically sincere.
Suddenly Philip, you're no longer here,
There's one more less talent, one more empty chair.
We'll certainly miss you and your unique way,
We'll never forget you and those roles you played.
The world will soon realize,
The impact you made.
Suddenly Philip, such a price you paid.
Suddenly Philip,
You broke your stride.
An underachiever,
Now immortalized.
Suddenly Philip,
Your legacy
Will be defined,
In posterity,
Cinematically.
RIP
