One blood coated knife.
Was all it took,
To end your life.
Tears stream down my face,
Like pouring rain.
I feel so alone,
Things will never be the same.
How could you do this?
I have always been there.
Why are you so selfish?
You know that I care.
As I looked down apon you,
My body goes numb.
How could you be so stupid?
How could you be so dumb?
You were all I have left,
In this screwed up life.
Now I have nothing,
So I pick up the knife.
Best friends stick together,
I say in my head.
Best friends stick together,
Alive and/or dead.
The blade is sharp,
It cuts with ease.
My body feels weak,
I can no longer breathe.
Am I being selfish?
I fall to the ground.
Am I being stupid?
No longer is there sound. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Roshie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Selfish?

One tear soaked letter,

Why are you so selfish?

There is only one thing
that this reminded me of
which is the word "Silence"
it was a poem i read today
here and that's what it was
called, that's what this poem
reminded me of
This is so sad and full
of such deep emotion
I enjoyed reading this one
Keep em' coming

Extreamly sad. I can clearly feel the pain in this poem. It is very good though.

This is a good poem, ful of emotion. I'm sitting here hoping this didn't actually happen to you. For if it did then all I can say is that I know how it feels to lose a friend in these circumstances.
