PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

That day still lingers clearly in the back of my mind

The same words keep replaying over and over, I just can’t forget

Wishing I could have been there, hoping I could have said something to change your mind

Knowing you are really gone, and feeling the pain, shame, and regret



Sometimes I still wish that it was me that was gone instead

You had so many people that loved you, you were just blinded by the pain

Making yourself just another statistic, felt you were better off dead

Put on the stereo, turned it up loud, downed the overdose, and took a walk out in the rain



Maybe that is not the way it really went down, but that’s how I envision the whole scenario

It’s easier than thinking of the loaded gun to your temples, and one loud bang

I still cannot believe I was so close when it happened, and I did not hear it happen,

But if you are not looking for it, then you can’t picture the whole scene



Your memory still resides within my heart

I still remember what happened on that horrific day

This is a tribute to your memory

And some of the things that I still have left to say
