By Mike Hintz-

Facing the reality I've never faced
Walking the distance I've never walked
Dealing with pain I've never dealt with
Trying to act happy when I can't
I ask myself why over and over again
Nothing I can do to turn back the clock
Nothing I can do to stop the fate that awaits
With so many questions unanswered
As you left the world
You broke our hearts
Now I face the truth
The things that are to come
The way things use to be
I just await the fate
That comes next.

The day is coming,
The day is near,
Yet something's missing,
Your not here.
We all wonder why that is,
We all wonder where he is.
His sweet face is not around,
His wonderful voice makes no sound.
Nineteen years old he left us alone but,
your mother received your diploma.
You achieved what you wanted,
Congratulations!
You made it your goal,
it's graduation.
We are all proud of our friend.
And always will be,
Until our lives end.

By, Tiffany Palmer-

Your life was lived with your guitar,
your imagination got you far.
Writing songs with your guitar,
never knowing whom there for.
You are talented with your guitar,
filling everyone's joyous hearts.
Everything was expressed with your guitar,
every feeling that you thought.
You played with pride on your guitar,
and we wont forget you at all.
You wanted to succeed with your guitar,
always wanted to be a rock star.
I love you Richie and your guitar,
your sound will be in our hearts forever.

There's no sun anymore
Ugliness and greed have taken over
As I am dying inside
Everything on the outside seems fine
Nobody to talk to
Nobody who cares
What am I trying for
With emotions I don't know how to deal with
The pain makes me numb
I feel no more emotion
I feel nothing
Nobody to talk to
Nobody who cares
Theres no sun anymore
