If you are thinking about killing yourself at this moment, I want you to read this over carefully and place each and everyone of your most painful memories into this poem in the spaces where they belong like a puzzle that only you can solve. I know what it's like...I've met many people in my life who have either wanted to kill themselves or have done it, and it leaves a hole in your heart that nothing can ever fix. If you are still reading this and thinking about it, remember that we will never forget you, and if you need help, email me or something, I'll provide you with the best help I can...life is too much of a gift to give away...
That said, please read my poem now.

Screen the sky for burning hopes
Constricting on our throats like steel ropes
The pain reaches in and tears your soul apart
But we all have to do this, and to begin we must start

It burns like your tears on my skin
Tell me if you're ok
I see the pain you are in
Don't let your emotions bury you in an opac of eternal gray

But realize, you're not in this alone
What an end to my day, your pain my own
Hello angel tell me where are you
Unearth the black that I can see right through

Hell reaches out to the incinerating sun
To black it out and leave the dark for everyone
What a waste of a human life
All because you though you had to die tonight

White lights worn out your voice
One more mascara and blood fed flame
Black skies to heed your rejoice
I'm telling you this isn't a game

I want to let you know that I'm not the same person inside
I want you to know I saw the same sunset by the seaside
What I'm going through is killing me too
But I won't let it get to me or let it do the things it wants to do

Clear the skies
Wipe the pain away with only one try
Way down on the grave
Where I see your name

It's over, and I miss you more than ever
What could you have felt to let death blow you away like a feather

I guess you're pretty much done
When you aren't at all afraid to stare down a loaded gun

Just know that no matter how much it pours
Or how much my insides can store
You came up on me way too fast
And your death knocked me down faster than the pain of the past

I swore to your name
I'll never let it happen to another person I love just the same

My heart will never mend
Not ever again
You're never coming home again
We all miss you...to this day you're still my only friend

In the shadows of the past
It wasn't enough to drown yourself to last

Stand up tall and overcome the pain
And don't let it drive you insane

I can only remember the days I spent with the one I loved before they died

To this day I remember every tear that I cried

It isn't worth your life at all
My best friend took the gun and held to her head
Coming home to what she though was her call
and look what it got her, all she is is dead

The pieces fall in all the wrong places
Yet they still fit into all the cases

Standing on the edge I can see where the current washed you away

At this moment, I'm staring into what made my life fade away, into what still keeps me from ending my days,
The black that keeps your life's storybook pages frayed, the other people here that made me stay...
