Gabrielle Clemens Poet I do not know?

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
