It was a cold, rainy day, the day you ended every hope and dream. You decided you could no longer stay, you finally carried out your scheme. It was an exhausting afternoon, I had been in bed asleep, had no idea that you would leave so soon, no idea you were in so deep. I heard my mom whisper Oh my God, No. I knew something was wrong from her voice. She set me down so soft and slow, She has left this world, by her own choice. There were no tears for me to cry, I still don't know where they were. I'll never know why you wanted to die, of your feelings I'll never be sure. I'll never forget you lying there, so sweet and so beautiful. So peaceful, but yet it still gave me a scare. Why does this world have to be so cruel? It was on April Fool's Day, but this day there wasn't a joke. Nobody knew exactly what to say, while, for you, our hearts broke. You just couldn't make it, past everything you had to go through. Your path through life was never lit, life is so different now, without you. You and I were never best friends, but you were still my friend just the same. I'm sorry now that it's all at the end, now that your life you have claimed. You'll never know how sorry I am now, that I never listened to you. I'll always wonder if maybe, somehow, something happened that no one ever knew.
Reason for writing:
I had a friend kill herself April 1st, 1995. I regret now that I wasn't closer to her, and I wish I would've known how depressed she was so I could've helped her. I'll always wonder what went through her mind. But I guess I'll never know. This is my tribute to her.
