I LET HIM DIE

by she   Apr 2, 2008


Why didn't I see the signs?
Was he crying out while I simply turned a blind eye?
Could I have saved him with just a kind smile, or simple wave?
He's my brother, he was my life,
He was hurting, why didn't he come to me, or did he but I was just too busy to see?!!
In his room, did he feel all alone, did he feel no-one cared?
I should have hugged him one more time,
I should have said I love you once more.
I didn't see what was right in front of me, I didnt hold on to him, instead I let him slip away,
So in a way, I, his own sister LET HIM DIE!

no, he's not gone in person, but things have happened to him, and also the drugs have made him, not really there anymore, it's hard to explain.]

    i think i know where you're coming from...one of my closest friends...she chose drugs over me. and it hurts to let them die that way...to feel like it's your fault, you could have stopped it..
