If Only

by Lauren   Oct 15, 2007


If only I had been there
If only I had tried
If only I had gotten through
Then there would have been no crime.
Did you think it was the only way?
Did you have to take your life?
Why did you not let me help?
Why did you not trust me?
I loved you like a brother
I would have taken your secret to the grave
I would have helped you see
how much you are loved
But I was to late
So here I stand
Alone in the rain
Staring at a stone
Carved with a name and
two dates.
Two dates that are far too close
As a single tear runs down my face
I say your name for the last time
before returning to my world of
silence you had rescued me from.

    I'm sorry to read this quote.
    eventhough you are/did go through this troublesome time it makes you such a stronger person.
    keep holding on.
    keep writing.
