My Best Friend
My Best Friend
Poem by: Flor Ramirez
To busy worrying about me
So depressed I had to flee
I ignored you when you said you were sad
I didn’t know your life was that bad
Wishing I could see you, hear your every word
Now every night, for you I pray to my lord
Both going through a rough path, going through a thing
Now if only I could see you again, so much it would mean
When it happened I felt so much sadness and anger
How could I not know your life was in danger?
I was really mad at you for leaving
Even more mad at me for not believing
Difference between us was that I reached out
But now you’re resting in peace without a doubt
Not realizing the storm that was left behind
Your mom said you are all that’s on her mind
We tried to suck it up say it was okay, even though it was a lie
You were her baby girl, my sister, how could we not cry?
I think about you every day since you been gone
I just wish I had known something was wrong
One time you told me “when I’m older ill find me a real man”
but now we couldn’t even host your sweet 16 as we planned
You left too soon, you were only 15
Your daily life of pain was a routine
One time suicide was mentioned
Oh why did I not pay attention?!
2 months later here I stand in front of your grave
If only i had stayed but I wasn’t that brave
You didn’t deserve to live in fear
You didn’t deserve to shed all those tears
But now it’s too late
You chose your fate
