I was sitting at a friends Just playing some cards When something crashed loudly In the darkened yard Saying not to worry One grabbed a forty-five From the closet shelf Hurried to see what was outside A glass of cold water Dumped on my head Or a slap on the face Couldn't have had the same effect I blocked out the morning We went to your parents Just to talk and visit But only one of us left We chatted with your mom In the foyer for a bit Then you went to your room I told you I'd be right in Your stereo came on The music was loud I hugged your mom and dad Left to tell you to turn it down My hand was on the door knob Everything was okay Then time froze for a life-time It seemed like, that day I was turning the handle When the gun-shot was heard Your parents came running But I was there first I stopped them from seeing What I managed to block out Had them call an ambluence Calmed your mothers shouts These images flashed in my mind I was told my face paled And that I was screaming When I came back to myself I knew you had died And I know I knew how But I managed not to remember Until another gun was pulled out January 7, 2000 A year ago last week Since I've remembered I can't seem to fall asleep What if I had gone in Just a minute before Or hurried a little faster To open that closed door My hearts hurting a lot To much going on in my head I keep seeing you alive Then that last time, dead... How does a friendship That seems so great End in such a way I'm losing all faith. In Memory of Jim With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

BWA, I know your pain and can only wish you the best tomorrow. There is no greater pain than that of losing a cherished friend, especially when you think you could've done something to stop it. But you couldn't have. I have lost 8 good friends to suicide in the last 3 1/2 years, and I will tell you from experience that once you hit rock bottom, you can only go up. Tears as I am typing this, tried so hard to block out the memories, they only get easier as you go along on the road of life.  Remember, 'we like to think we operate the loom that weaves the future, but the only foot on that treadle is the foot of fate.' -D.K. Seize the Night."Hope is no stronger than the tremulous beads of dew strung on the filament of spiderweb, and it alone can't long support the terrible weight of an an |

*HUGS* Awww BWA! There is nothing I can say to lessen your grief, I know. Losing a friend in such a tragic way is heartbreaking. I hope, in time, your grief might gradually dissapate--although I know you will never really forget. *HUGS* from the 'Lil' Ewok!   ~~Jamie I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

it is indeed sad when one's despair is stronger than one's will to live..this was not your choice..suicide(in my opinion) is the ultimate selfish act..by unburdening yourself of your problems, you dump them on your loved ones. I hope your pain eases soon.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
