Preventable Suicide

Guilt haunts me to this day;
Your sad face is melted to my brain. 
The echo of conversations...
I could have eased your pain.
Your body was once so strong, 
but now, against God's will, 
with dried tears stained upon your cheeks, 
you'll lie forever, cold and still.

Hind sight is always 20/20. We can't know when we are in the middle with someone that they are that depressed or that they are that serious. Education is the key to prevent suicide. Good topic that you have presented here. Keep writing. Sara
