Not Enough Love
Oh, she was my best friend,
who was she in the end?
So much time filled with strife...
she chose to take her life.
All her days filled with woe,
the shame she couldn’t let go.
All her ways seemed so wrong,
the blame she felt was strong.
I saw her last bleak smile,
as a child, broke and vile.
She used to laugh with charm,
why did she choose self harm?
Free of love in her youth,
no one could see the truth.
Too much wine for one girl,
too much grief in her world.
A sad, lone and blue soul,
when will death make her whole?
My loss cuts like a knife…
she chose to take her life.
