Closed forever, the blue green eyes.
Where the breath was stolen amid hopeless lies.
And conversations ceased, the truth unseen.
To the turmoil now left behind.
You were worthy, but didn’t know.
Worthy of love and so much more.
Your infectious smile and
Billowing laughter,
what was it we didn’t see?
What chains held tight
to the fragments inside,
anchored dimensions
of a broken mind.
Yesterday is gone,
And the words we shared seem small.
The long talks and dreams,
They no longer matter at all.
Left to persuade
Those left behind.
Forced to live
With the power of grief inside.
Silence will be welcomed
Then hated.
Wonder and anguish will ride,
The discussion debated.
The journey has begun
In the aftermath of suicide.
