Suicide Poem by Timothy David

I read your letter when you said good bye
And my mouth dropped to the floor
Like an autumn leaf falling from the April skies
The tear drops began to fall

You left me here to battle my thoughts
But my heads spinning round and round
You must've forgotten the lessons I'd taught
Of all the happiness you could have found

I know your life was getting dull and grey
And I know your thoughts went violent
But that doesn't mean you had to fly away
And leave all our lives so silent

You know it doesn't take much for you to tell a friend
That life gets easier before the end
When you left your self hanging from that tree
You weren't just hurting yourself you were hurting me

They say you gotta do what you gotta do
But to take things so very far?
Just last week I spent the day with you
But now your gone like a shooting star

And it hurts me to say in my own foolish way
That I reckon I could've been your saviour
And look at me now all my thoughts gone stray
As I think of your telling behaviour

And who's gonna save me now that your gone
Who's gonna come to my aid
I wish I could have told you what Your doing is wrong
As You hang from that tree in the shade

You know it doesn't take much for you to tell a friend
That life gets easier before the end
When you left your self hanging from that tree
You weren't just hurting yourself you were hurting me

And still the pain hasn't gone away
