A Teenage Suicide

I remember when you were sixteen So young and full of life You were brave and accepted any dare You took all burdens and strife Then you met a girl of your dreams You said she took your breath away Your bond seemed indestructible Pure joy written in your face Then one day an illness claimed her life But with it she took your soul And every attempt to console your grief Couldnt make your broken heart whole You secluded yourself from others Spent hours alone up in your room We all thought you would heal in time But were blind to the impending doom Your Mom came to wake you for school But when she knocked there was no reply That day will haunt me forever When I heard heard her horrific cries. I dashed in a panic to the bedroom Found you cradled in your Mothers arms Your body limp with lifeless eyes Your last memory caused such harm Four days later our family gathered To lay your tattered soul to rest Tears flowed out like a raging river It shows the broken hearts you left So parents heed this warning Dont take for granted your childrens tears Do whatever it takes to help them through Dont let suicide claim what you hold dear.
