Hidden Feelings

Are you okay? I ask 
I'm fine she typed as the blood dripped from her wrist
I’ve been there before I understand 
*The next week*
I call her shes crying I ask her if shes alright I want to believe she will say no I need you will you stay but instead she convinces me shes okay as I end the call she ends her life after all 
she was always there for me why wasn’t I there in her time of need 
I just can’t stop thinking its my fault I could’ve stopped her but in reality nothing would have stopped her maybe I really haven’t been there

You can't blame yourself for another person's struggle. Especially when it's not your fault and there wass nothing you could do. Good poem
