Never Forget

I will never forget the first time I lost someone to suicide.
The deafening screams that I created,
The shock, 
Followed by the aftershock.

I will never forget you Matthew, 
I won't let myself
forget you.

As to forget is to accept,
And if I accept your death,
I’m afraid of how the system we fought for so long will continue to fail people,
Will continue to allow people’s voices to go unheard.
