The most passionate poem I ever wrote about my suicidal friend, the one that most adequately described how his death made me feel.
My hair is short I hate my body Can’t seem to remember What you told me Death is coming Death is near Something burning Smell of fear I hated Him But not you Our lives are told By what we do Perhaps you tried A show to tell Souls afire Dark Father’s Hell Churning, crunching Hungers blazed Could have stopped A child not saved Who’s to blame Our world, our lies Gods or evil Nature denies Look to accept Never found Held fascination Tightly wound Who put the Gun up to your head? Who pulled the trigger, Live or Dead? Mother’s pride Fallen Waiting for her only calling Crimson mask Eyes raised To honor a God Uncertainly praised Room for forgiveness? Room for salvation? Pity a race Unworthy of Creation Perhaps a mistake; Creation of man Species of destruction By mortal hand Reach for answers Grasp only air Reach for person No longer there Love, lies, Life, hate Given a chance Realized too late Nothing now Time forgot Unable to remember What thou shalt not
