Poem about suicide.

How could you do this to us,

after all they we’ve all been through?

We’ve known each other,

most of our lives,

and shared with each other,

our deceptions and lies.

I know how I hurt you,

so many years ago,

but now you go,

and try to do the same thing,

and I just want to know,

Why?

You know what happened,

the last time our friend succeeded,

and what that did to us all.

Are you trying to punish us for something,

because you have had,

quite the plush life.

No abuse for you,

your whole family loves you so.

You finally got the love of your life,

and now you want her to go?

She’s not going anywhere,

and no matter how far you run,

we’ll track you down,

like we did this time,

even if they find you with another gun.

Now your locked up,

and don’t understand why.

Think about what you’ve put us through,

maybe then you’ll see why.

So as we wait,

and see if they will keep you or not,

go ahead, throw a fit,

throw things about.

It’s only going to keep you there longer,

believe me about that,

there is no doubt.

    WOW Ash…this is a powerful poetic plea to someone who is obviously close to you and who failed in an attempted suicide…I liked your advice about throwing things around in a detention/holding facility that way he will be kept there longer – out of the mouths of babes…hopefully he will see the waste of his endeavour and will come to see that in striking back at society the only one who doesn’t end up hurt is him…I liked the poem and voted to say so…I just don’t like the sound of the circumstances under which it was written…thanks and take care…

    It is Deep and 1st hand. It seems to be very personal. Not always is it easy to share such things. Thank you for sharing and always keep your head up. I try to live thru others issues problems for I myself wont have to go through the same things but it is not always easy in these kind of cases to plan for such events. Hope all is well. I really enjoyed this piece.
