Rise Awareness Not Stigma-Suicide

A long day…today… A sad night…tonight… If only I knew what was right. Pretending to understand why you would leave me. Pretending to understand why I let you fly free. Considering all the possibilities you carried in your realm. Considering all the reasons why you felt overwhelmed. I needed you to live; you needed chemicals to survive. I needed love to give; you needed alcohol to stay alive. You bled yourself just to feel; I just allowed you to die. You bled yourself just to heal; I just couldn’t say goodbye. I can’t stop the horrid pain; you couldn’t stop your last drink. I can’t stop trying to explain; you couldn’t stop and think. Your beauty died in vain; my beauty died with you. Your beauty brought the rain; my beauty has no value. Pretending to understand why you left without me. Pretending to understand why you made me the enemy. A callous day…today… A harsh night…tonight… If only I held the insight. Written By: Laura Loo Date Written: April 7, 2016
