I'Ve Lost So Much

I've lost so much 
and I just lost more
What else could I do?
You slit your wrist 
It made me cry
You bled all over my heart

You asked for help
I turned the my cheek,
and now the wieght of your death is on my shoulders
You begged me to listen
And I acted like I didn't hear you
Now you're gone

I've lost so much
And I just lost more
It is my fault you're dead
I should have listened
And now the weight of your death is on my shoulders
I'm sorry

Please know that I am sorry
I will no longer turn away from someone in need
I will lend an ear when needed
I will NOT turn others away 
I've lost so much 
And I've just lost more
and I'm sorry

This is a powerful write...Most people that are close to someone who commits sucide don't recognize the warning signs...You are not responsible...Forgive yourself for whatever role that you had in this tradgedy...Deciding to listen to others is a good start but don't overload yourself with other people because sometimes that can be more than a person can bear...Keep the creative pen flowing.
