[hometext] => This poem is dedicated to a good friend, Jim Ehrenfriend, who tragically took his own life at the age of 23, on 22nd April '05
[bodytext] => I'll never forget how I felt that day When they told me that you had died I barely reacted, I think I fell silent I sat on my bed, but I never once cried I couldn't believe it was you they meant The bright young chap with bright blue eyes Who took his own life right after his birthday I prayed and I wished they were telling me lies It never hit home until the nighttime That you were never coming back again I missed your eyes, your smile, your laughter Nothing would ever be quite the same I spoke to your Dad for the first time ever He told of your funeral day I told him I'm sorry, it shouldn't have happened That Jim took his own life away The day of the funeral I was much too nervous I think I was shaking from head to toe We got so lost, we missed your burial Guilt of that day will never ever go What more can I say, you're sorely missed I wish I could see you just once more What made you do it, we will never know Only you can ever know what it was for [comments] => 1 [counter] => 201 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Wilder [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
