You killed yourself and didn't think of me.
I can't blame you for that, and yet I do,
For now your pain becomes my legacy.
What agony impelled you not to be?
I loved you-wasn't that enough for you?
You killed yourself and didn't think of me,
Nor saw through my eyes what you made me see,
Nor cared about my life when yours was through.
And now your pain becomes my legacy,
And I must fight to keep my sanity,
For what you did defines what must be true:
You killed yourself and didn't think of me.
I cannot think you did it selfishly;
So great a sacrifice leaves nothing due.
But now your pain becomes my legacy,
And I must sail across that bitter sea
That leaves no trace of joy or residue.
You killed yourself and didn't think of me,
So now your pain becomes my legacy. |

Forgive
by Amber D. Shipler
I remember the day like yesterday
When I looked into your heart,
I thought I saw forever,
But forever fell apart.
I never knew this day would come,
Not in a million years.
That I would be sitting here without you,
To wipe away my tears.
I never believed you’d kill yourself,
I thought it was a joke.
Till i heard the gun go off,
My heart leapt to my throat.
Nobody understood what happened,
Nobody really knew why,
I was the only one who knew you wanted to die.
I told myself it was meant to be,
But i knew it was a lie.
The thought of living without you,
Still makes me cry.
So I’m sitting here without you,
Four years since that day.
The day the boy I was meant to love,
Went so very far away.
I seem to love another now,
Just like you said I would.
But life here without you,
Still isn’t very good.
I know you’d be so proud of me,
To see how much I’ve changed.
I’m learning to trust again,
To break away the chains.
The ones that held my walls so tight,
That no one could get in.
I’m learning to love myself again,
I’m learning to Forgive...

Before You Kill Yourself
Your mind's made up
You can't take it anymore,
Life's impossible
And suicide's the answer
To Heaven's Door!
Before you kill yourself
Ask the 15-year-old,
Who tried to electrocute himself.
He lived, but now . . .
He must carry on
With both of his arms gone!
What about jumping?
Come see Jack,
Who survived his leap
From a ten-story building.
He lived, but now . . .
He'll always need care
He's a vegetable
A mind like a cabbage,
He lives in a fog
With irreversible brain damage.
But worst of all . . .
He KNOWS he use to be normal!
Come see the All American Football player
Who thought he was cool
And bought a gun
Shot himself in the head
. . . At 21!
He thought it would be easy
And without any harm,
He lived, but now . . .
He can't feel his legs
And has a useless arm!
He lost his dream,
. . . His vision
And his hearing on one side
. . . But he lived
Through his attempt at suicide!
Then there was this Prom Queen
Who was left comatose
With extensive brain damage
From her drug overdose.
She mixed some alcohol with some pills
It took awhile . . .
But it definitely kills.
First, you're in excruciating pain
Your eyes roll back
Then your skin turns yellow
It's not a pretty sight
And it's a hell of a way to go!
Who will cut the rope
From where you hang down?
Who will identify your body
After you've drowned?
Who will scrape your brains from the ceiling?
Or clean the blood off the carpet?
A cleaning crew will refuse the job
But somebody's got to do it!
Oh! . . . & that carefully worded suicide note
That's NO help
For the unending pain
That's FOREVER felt!
Who will it be?
Your Sister? . . . Your Mother? . . .
Your Father? . . . Your Brother?
Those who love you will NEVER recover!
They'll have to live with regret
And with all the guilt
Along with all those unanswered questions
That is FOREVER felt.
They love you . . .
But down deep inside ~
They'll hate you
For thinking only about yourself
And your life ending decision!
There are people who can help you
Before you decide to put your life to an end,
Call a hotline . . . Or call a doctor
Call the hospital . . . Or call a friend.
Call a minister . . . Or call a priest
Call a family member . . . or call the police!!
They will help you
They'll give you hope
When your will is down
And you can no longer cope!
You say you don't want to be stopped
Are you definitely sure you want to commit suicide?
Because if you fail ~
You're gonna wish you were left to DIE!
So . . . Before You Kill Yourself . . .
Remember . . .
Suicide is not always the answer,
Nor is it always successful
Consider your actions
Because living with the results are dreadful!!
