Suicide Poem

I wrote this poem to give myself a better understanding of things because as a teen I need that understanding. This poem is based on a true story. I dedicate this to my sister BORN 1987~DIED 2007. Even though I have this understanding I still have that question in the back of my mind, that question is why... To people who are going through something like this I hope this helps you understand and realize suicide is just a permanent answer to a temporary problem and people do need you and people do care I cared about my sister but I wish I had let her know that...

Last Love

© L. Shay
I loved this boy, I loved him so,
I can't believe he let me go.
He sat this girl upon his knee
and said he chose her instead of me.
My mum came home late that night,
she looked for me I was nowhere in sight.
She went to my room my room was all red,
all it took was one bullet to the head.
She dropped to her knees and picked me up.
And my family came in to see what was up.
My brothers and sisters were crying hardcore.
They found my letter lying on the floor.
On my letter it said dig a hole six feet deep
and place two shot guns at my feet.
Tell my friends I did my best
and ask them if I’ve passed the test.

I know exactly how you feel. my sister was born 1988 July 14 and died 2005 June 27 she was going to her senior year and I was going to be a freshman at highschool. I told her the night before in a note that I loved her. The next day I woke up mom was crying and the door was cracked open there was nothing I could do. there was nothing you could do either she was going to commit suicide whether you said it or not either then or later. I loved my sis so much she was so creative and talented seemed like the opposite of me except she could never feel happy.

OMG, having lost someone because of suicide is the hardest loss because you feel like you're the one to blame. It must be really hard to lose a sister especially when you were so close. This poem was really touching and it left me in tears I hope that you get through your bereavement and don't feel any guilt. You didn't cause it

I know how you feel..my dad was born in 1959 Sept. 4 and died on 2004 Feb. 15 by committing suicide and it still hunts me down but as Chris said there is no way you can stop something like this my dad had tried to commit suicide even before I was born and it makes you think many things...I felt guilt because I was the last person he talked to and said goodbye and gave me a last kiss and I always think what if I had told him how much I care for him would he had stayed?...idk its just how life is I guess...
