Safety From Suicide Poem by Jamal Brown

I have heard of you.
I know where you live.
I share your thoughts, intrests,
And like-mindedness.
Yet, I could not save you.
I tried my absolute best,
to make you feel loved
and wanted. I have cared
for you since the time of
conception. My love for you
has since grown. Yet, I did
not hear your last cry, or watch
you take your last breath. Now,
my deepest emotions and regrets
prove true. I love you, but
the heart alone knows its
bitterness, and no outsider
can share in its joy.
