Its Too Late

by Shelby   Dec 24, 2005


As I look in the mirror
My eyes turn red like fire
Tears fall down my cheek
Burning scars in my skin

Forever I will remember this moment
With this gun faced toward my head
Never will anyone forget me now
I need to do this

My fingers about to hit the trigger
But then I stop to think
What would happen if I live
Will this pain go on?

Where would my sister be
Twenty years from now
Would she even remember me
Or will she and others forget

Will she get married
Will she have kids
Will they know about what I did
Will they miss me

Would they care
Would she tell them
Would she keep it a secret
Would they never know

What would happen to my brother
Would he go on with this life
Would he get married
Or have children of his own

As the memories go rushing through
This hopeless mind of mine
Tears just keep falling
I just wanna stop the time

My sister is soon gonna be home from school
I gotta do this quick
I cant let her know
That I'm going to do this

My finger moves
The gun shoots
Theres no time now
I did what I did and that is all

My life flashed before my eyes
I first saw my brother
When he was first born
Then my sister when she was crying

When my brother was born
I was happy that I wasn't alone anymore
And when my sister was crying
I made her laugh

A smile swept across my face
As the memories rushed through my mind
But now what do I do
Theres no time left

Its time for me to go
At least I die with a smile
I'm really sorry for this
But its too late

This is a story of what I think my uncle was thinking when he committed suicide. I never knew him but my mom told me all about everything I did. I just want him to know that all my family members will never forget him. We all know... and we hope that he's in a safe place right now. Even though I never knew him... I think that if I did then he would of been a great uncle to me and my cousins and sister... I love him and thats it!
