You were my best friend,
The only one I could look to,
That’s why when I found out about you,
My whole body just blew.

We saw you as happy,
Others saw you blue,
Why Would you keep this from me,
I wish I only knew.

You are gone now,
I am still afraid and confused,
Why’d you have to do it,
Now I feel blue.

I wish you only knew,
What in this world I would do for you,
Anything I could give you I would,
The only thing I couldn’t no one could.

Now you are happy,
Up in heaven with your dad,
I hope you see this,
Even though your gone.

I want you to know,
In my heart your never gone.


Well I've been gone for quite some time and many of you probably don't know me. But I've come back to place I used to call home... For help.. And lost.

My bestfriend killed himself 2 months ago... Its hard but I know ill get through and im sure you guys will help.

An amazing write. Its such a hard pain to deal with when a friend commits suicide especially a best friend. I am still dealing with my friends suicide that happened four years ago. If you ever need anyone to talk to I am here.  Thank you for posting that, I am a strong believer that everything on here posted affects someone.

I can't be your superman

Very emotionally charged piece, nicely done. One critique...change seen to saw, it flows better. Other than that absolutly riviting. I'm extremely sorry for your loss. To lose someone that close to you is one of the hardest things anyone can ever deal with. Its the most horrifing painful experiance I know I've been there too and I always wondered why and if there was anything I could have done...But time has gotten me past blame but the hurt is still there though less now. I hope that you remember that person for all he was to you and remember that we are always here with open arms. If you need someone to rant to by ears are always open personally as well.

I really liked your poem, it was really touching, and sad. I am so sorry about your loss. To be honest, i don't know how you feel, but it must hurt a lot.I dont know what i would do if my best friend died, let alone took their own life. Just know i'm here and i hope things are better soon.
Love always,

I can only imagine the pain you're feeling, my friend came close to killing herself once and I thought that was painful, to see how depressed she was.  I really liked the poem because of how emotional it was, nice write.
