21. Suicide
Suicide the headline screams
And everyone turns their head
Too frightened, too shocked, too ignorant
To acknowledge that he is dead

I was a lonely wanderer, searching for a place to belong.
You came into my life and gave me love, a place to call home.
Home is where the heart is; it doesn't always have four walls.

You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be
Mornings in the summer
Autumn's evening mist
Snowflakes on my window
Solitude exists
Alone in my darkness I still see your face,
sometimes your presence and your warm embrace.
I look 'round the house; it's calling your name,
but nothing I see here quite feels the same.
Time heals all wounds they say,
but I have one that never goes away.
The loss of you has left a spot
deep in my heart that time forgot.
If death is nothing at all,
We will be enjoying summer and fall;
We shall talk and laugh as we have always done,
Instead of waiting for my time to come.
I love you.
I love you too, until the casket closes.
But when your casket closes,
Where should my love then go?
I left a simple rose today.
I laid it down upon your grave.
Then memories came rushing - from the past,
of our lives together; we said it would last.
Famous Poem
A loose limb hangs upon a pine three log-lengths from the ground,
A norway tumbles with a whine and shakes the woods around.
The loose limb plunges from its place and zigzags down below;
And Jack is lying on his face—there's red upon the snow.
