Why Dad, Why did you chose to die? You left no note.

Why?

©  Christina M. Butz
Why
Dad,
Why did you chose to die?
You left no note and me with why?
You thought you were doing what was best and right.
Why, oh why, did you have to end the fight?
Your pain is something I will never understand.
You must have been so afraid to take this stand.
You left me with a title I am sad to attain.
Suicide Survivor, but who should I blame?
I know your decision was painful to make.
The thoughts in your head
Must have been unbearable to take.
Now that you're gone, I think of you a lot.
You couldn't have known the suffering this has brought.
I pray you are at peace my Angel, and I am in pain.
I count the minutes to Heaven and seeing you again.
Why? by Christina M. Butz @FamilyFriendPoems

This poem so reminds me of what I went through with my dad. I feel exactly the same as you. Suicide is so cruel I rack my brains all the time to find out why???

This poem is so touching. I had the same thing occur with my dad. My condolences to the writer of this poem.

Loved the poem. It just may have changed my mind about suicide. I am a father of two, one 16 and the other 4. This poem really touched my heart and may have kept me from breaking my daughter's heart.

I loved this poem .My husband decide to end his life this time last year and left behind 5 beautiful children. Maybe if had known the heartbreak that would trail after he was gone. My children miss him so very much.

I love this poem, it's just the most selfish thing to do.. yet they think they are helping us by taking themselves out of our lives.. they usually feel like failures. This happened to my Dad May 1992 will never get over it... will always endure. Looking forward to see him again

I know how you feel, my father committed suicide when I was 15 just 2 short months before my 16th birthday. It's very hard for me even now almost 5 years later. I must say that writing poems and songs and things of that nature has helped me quiet a bit.

This really touched me. My dad took his life Jan 24, 2009. I just recently mustered up the courage to visit his grave. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him. I know he is in heaven with his mom and dad, and brother who took his life three months prior to my dad. If he only knew the pain my four sisters and I have had to endure. I think of him daily.

This poem really brought me to tears. My father overdosed Sept 18th of last year after being sick since '93. He had so many health problems and he always told us he was sick of being sick. I think of him daily. I am almost 21 years old. I am just now starting a family. I am 6 months pregnant and he will never get to hold his grand daughter or he won't be there on my wedding day…

I too can relate to this poem. My dad took his life when I was 15yrs old and I spent YEARS blaming myself. I too am now an adult with a child of 14 years. She is my world and my life. But depression from be it mental, or physical pain or whatever is horrible. I wish I could have helped him but it would have only prolonged it. He is at peace finally and I have to remember him the way I want to - the good times...if you are considering suicide please for your family and loved ones..get help.

Hey. this poem is so lovely. My father took his own life last year and I really miss him each and every day. and time doesn't make the hurt any better. I always swore I would never even attend his funeral but when he was gone and when I finally decided to except that I would never speak or see him again. I felt exactly like your poem. I'm only 16 was 15 when dad died. He didn't leave a suicide note but he told me what he was going to do. he told me and my mum. I miss him each and every day and October 3rd would've been his birthday. but your poem hits the question of why spot on. it's awesome.
