Mass Suicide

The days go by

The weeks will pass 

You cry and cry

How long will it last!?

You lay in your bed 

head under the covers 

Wish for another day with the dead

To say what - will never be discovered 

Can’t explain this up and down

The good.  The bad. 

It drives you mad

No division of past or present 

The person you loved also hurt 

you     Causing resentment

Nothing you can do to it figure out. 

The half-truths and outright lies 

Leaving you with nothing but why’s. 

Need to let go. To move forward don’t know how you’ll ever get there. 

Your head is spinning 

Your mind in chaos 

Can’t stop the memories or the losses 

Questions unanswered  and  always will be. 

No way to reconcile this driving need 

To understand but you just can’t. 

The one you loved chose a different path. 

Suicide kills one but wounds many 

Lives affected and altered forever

The loss and grief you’ll always carry.
