Someone near and dear to me has thought of commiting suicide. This poem is the result of me finding out about it. Hopefully it will make people think twice before pulling the trigger. Tell me what you think, please.
A life short lived, a love long lost.
The price of suicide is a hefty cost.
Are you willing to bring it all to an end?
What God has given you, what time can mend.
But you’ve made your choice, you’re no longer there.
I’m just staring at an empty chair.
That gun you used took it all away,
And now you’ll never see the light of day.
Through my teary eyes, I think I see
A happy face like yours used to be.
Long gone now is that laugh, that smile,
But I still hear it once in a while.
So I must ask; was it worth everything you lost?
Did the solution have to be that hefty of a cost?
Sorry if I offended anyone by mentioning God. My goal here was not to upset people of different religion. Just thought I would say that so people wouldn't comment on it because it has happened before. Anyway, tell me what you think.
