A Friends Suicide
This is a poem I wrote after a close friend committed suicide I wrote it two years after the incident because it took me a long time to openly talk about him without breaking down into tears
You were a good friend
Always there by my side
I still love you to this day
But why did you leave me
You were always there to listen
To make me feel better
When no one else understood
You never judged the real me
We both understood each other
We were best friends
We could never be separated
Or so I thought
There was more pain there than I realized
I am sorry I didn’t pay more attention
You could have chosen a different path
Why did you leave me here
That one day
Seeming like all the others
I walk to your room
And my life changes forever after
I see your tears fall
The chrome slide in your hand
I start choking with tears
Your last words are I love you
My ears ring with the sound of gunshots
Rushing to your side
Wanting to wake up from this nightmare
Wanting my best friend to return to me
Holding your lifeless body in my arms
My tears falling across your chest
Your blood stains my hands
Your release laying by your side
I am consumed with anger
Why did this have to be?
Did I not listen to your problems?
Did I not comfort you enough?
Now the one person who completely understands
Who knows the real me
Who cares for me
And who was always there
Is gone
Always there by my side
I still love you to this day
But why did you leave me
You were always there to listen
To make me feel better
When no one else understood
You never judged the real me
We both understood each other
We were best friends
We could never be separated
Or so I thought
There was more pain there than I realized
I am sorry I didn’t pay more attention
You could have chosen a different path
Why did you leave me here
That one day
Seeming like all the others
I walk to your room
And my life changes forever after
I see your tears fall
The chrome slide in your hand
I start choking with tears
Your last words are I love you
My ears ring with the sound of gunshots
Rushing to your side
Wanting to wake up from this nightmare
Wanting my best friend to return to me
Holding your lifeless body in my arms
My tears falling across your chest
Your blood stains my hands
Your release laying by your side
I am consumed with anger
Why did this have to be?
Did I not listen to your problems?
Did I not comfort you enough?
Now the one person who completely understands
Who knows the real me
Who cares for me
And who was always there
Is gone
