Her Suicide Note Poem by James McLain
Her Suicide Note
I'm truly sorry, please understand,
But life's burden has grown too grand.
In shadows deep, I've lost my way,
Seeking solace in the night's star filled dark blanket.
My heart aches with a heavy weight,
Yet this decision, my ultimate fate.
Know that I've battled, fought in vain,
But now, in peace, I must remain.
Remember me with love, not sorrow,
And cherish our memories, come tomorrow.
For in the afterlife's eternal glow,
I'll find the peace I never could know.
For Sara Teasdale
