suicide
written 10/28/02)
A pain-filled scream,
Threatened to escape my lips.
My friend, once vibrant and full of life,
Lay cold and lifeless,
Her mangled wrists,
Covered with crusted blood.
Her pale purple lips,
Which had once spoken the words "friends forever",
Now, are eternally silent.
Her once bright green eyes,
Long since been clouded by depression,
Now are covered by thin eyelids.
She's so skinny,
But why eat when you've lost the will to live?
We'd planned to be roommates in college.
Have our children go to school together,
Maybe they could even become best friends like us,
Always tell each other our problems,
our secrets and comfort one another.
Nothing lasts forever.
I wish I had been there
If only I’d stopped her,
If only...
