Lights Dim

Tonights the night
That the lights dim
For my friend
It Looks like his end

I hear screams
In my dreams
Something seems
To be out of place

So i went to him
And the lights were dim
Theres a cut arcoss his wrist
How could i have missed
The signs
How could i have been so blind

As the parametics arrive
They try to revive
The guy
He didnt survive

So Tonights the night
Our lives have dimmed
For my friend
Has met his end

This is very very sad and holds an ammonition: may we always recognize the signs of unhappiness and may we be able to mend what needs to be mended.

Lights dim, indeed.

Love,
Margherita

A sad and tragic end to one's life and this poem was most assuredly written "FromtheHeart".

Warm, welcoming hug,

xFromtheheartx, I'm sorry, it hurts me deeply to imagine the loss of your friend. May The Spirit comfort you and brighten the light once more.

this is sad, what a sad one here. Makes you think of the life you still have left.

xFromtheHeartx, this is so very sad, none of us know what goes on in someone elses brain, all might seem right, but be wrong as hell, we must just enjoy each day as it pans out, good writing but not a good memory. Be well my friend and take care.

Sincerely
Rick

Casey~
So tragically this very event is played out too, too many times in life~
Sometimes ... the 'signs' are easily read ... sometimes they are not ...~
We cannot prevent that which we do not know will happen ... hoping this isn't something so real in your life ... but, if it is ... know that you should wear no guilt~

Sadly, that's easy for me to say ... as it didn't happen in mine~
Yet I have known friends whose very lives were devastated by an incident of suicide, who have carried the guilt of 'not having known' of the cries for help ... for many, many years~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

This was a really sad and depressing poem. I know how this feels a little. Back in 1989 my Mom almost overdosed on her sleeping pills. But she told my Dad to flush them down the toilet. I really liked this poem. Keep up the awesome poetry Casey!!!
