A Friend's Suicide

By h2whoa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I don't suppose they'll Ever know why you did What you did. You were barely past the start, The finish was out of sight, When you decided you'd Had enough, You decided to throw in the towel. You were 24, man! What the fuck were you thinking, Before you decided to end All thought With the sharpest blade: An overdose? To all your friends I would like to say: "I know it is painful that he has gone away, It pains us all to see him embrace the night I know that nothing can ever seem right. This foolish act has caused such pain That I know it must hurt to open your eyes again. But appreciate that for all your tears And all your overwhelming fears, You did not cause this deed. And time will soothe your burning bleed." You've left them hollow, Screaming in pain. But for all of that, They want you back. A desire Left unfulfilled. I only hope that Death Has offered you the peace, That you couldn't find in Life. Written December 16th, 2001 © on Mar 15 2002 11:41 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
