Had I succeeded as a suicide
Not to have lived but to have died
Consequently three brought to be with me
Subsequently would never be
Forever would have sent me back again
Like none of us had ever been

Yesterday one of my friends went away
Today I am thinking of Shawn
Who knew that I meant to go where he went
To the other side to go on
But his suicide has made me decide
To stay for the end of the ride

Maria and Stevie and Teddy and
I stay this side where love has stayed my hand

How hard it is to lose someone we love to suicide, It is an awakening shower for many of us when that happens, Life is a gift , we ought to treat it with gentle care. Loving ourselves as best as we could. You poem touched me deeply. Have a wonderful day dear poet.

Suicide is never the answer. It doesn't solve any problems or give us any insight. We must stay for the ride until the bitter end.
