A Graveyard Ridden With Guilt

There's a mist heavy and hard
All around this sad graveyard
That's filling my hart with pain
Thinking I'm the one to blame
For your demise from this earth
Not knowing what it's all worth
When darkness covers the light
After having a huge fight
With the one I care about
Every day I want to shout
Because you left angrily
And it's weighing heavily 
That your madness caused the crash
Taking your life as you smash
Into the river down below
Now your wearing a halo
As I have to face each day
Without you---it's not O.K.
That I'm here barely surviving
Minutes pass by as I'm striving
To find courage that I need
Not to cut myself and bleed
From the guilt that i still feel
It's becoming way too real
My heart can not be mended
As my life is finally ended

this portrays well the way such an incident can leave another feeling pain. I like the way you ended it on that tragic note, robin. and the title is pretty cool for this one too.

typo line 3, no 'e' in heart. But gosh on this day your titles are grave, not autobiographical I hope. Otherwise nice flow, and an interesting, engaging read. Well done.
