Loss of a brother

by Traci   Nov 20, 2004


This is true it is about my cousin who has suffered from depression ever sense her brother died. She tried to commit suicide but she was found in time. Please comment it means a lot to me!

The tears that streamed
down her face
matched the blood that flowed
from her wrists
as she quivered
in a ball
alone on the ground
nothing could stop her
it was already done
free from the pain
not scared to die
staring into the midnight sky
to weak to blink
and unable to speak
picturing the past
everything was great
until that night her brother died
this brought her depression
and fear for her life
not sure what would
come to her miserable family
she wanted to die and
could think of one way
so she slit her wrist and waited
alone hoping to find her brother
in their great new home

    Its very hard to lose someone, and this is very similar to a scenario in my life, I was found near dead, but my friend, sister of a sort, unfortunately was not, and I hope your cousin can move on with less pain
