Suicide Letters

Suicide letters Or love notes to death I an not sure what to call them I have read so many From my friends of course Saying they are sorry How they just couldn't take it any longer How their sorrow swallowed them The depression gripping tighter That's what depression does It chokes out the life in you My best friend suffered for a long time For at least 5 years Until she wrote her love note to death I still remember the erratic text scrawled on the page The pain in each sharp edge of the harsher letters Like T, K, and L Each edge cutting me Like the blade that ended her life Like the blade stained blood-red I don't use knives anymore I don't even keep them in my house My ex boyfriend Mike Wrote his love note To me and Death I sat on the floor sobbing As he told me he loved me But couldn't take the pain As he went on and on about the tragedy he faced How I brought the only light he knew into his life How I should never forget him And I don't I still pass his house everyday I still look for his car I still have the bottle of painkillers he took It's empty of course I just suffer through pain now I don't want to go like he did I miss him Along with my best friend But like I said they both had love letters to Death So Death soon fell in love with them
