Did he want to die?

by June   Aug 8, 2008


A few weeks ago I saw flowers ,
laid on a bridge not far from where I live.
I read in the paper some lad died at that spot ,
no accident I guess he just had nothing left to give.
He was so young at only 23 years old ,
so much more of life he had to see.
I wonder if he really wanted to die ,
and from this life did he really want to be free?.
There was more in the paper this week ,
the recent death of his gran had left him so upset.
So he hung himself from the bridge with his belt ,
time is a healer his gran I am sure he would never forget.
That poor lad must have have felt so alone ,
was there really no-one he could have talked to?.
His mother is left to grieve for him and properly wondering ,
what could she have done to help him through.

    Leaves the reader thinking. Suicide always leaves the ones who loved this person in such emotional pain. The questions will always be in their minds. Why? What could I have done to help. This is so very sad.
