my best friend
was 17 years old
breathing a week ago
but that's all over now
my best friend
has been dead
(on the inside)
a lot longer
than when she
was considered
dead from
lack of a pulse
my best friend
promised me that
this would never
come to this
and yet it has
and if I could speak
a few words to her now
Id give her an ear full
because she took a bit
of everybody with her
when she slit
main arteries
with her 13 year old brothers
hunting knife
I told her
that she was a big
part of my heart
and that with a piece
of your heart missing
you cannot breathe
and you would surly suffocate
well I'm not suffocating
but I'm drowning in tears
I have been crying
for a week
this girl that I've known
most of my life
the one who had the best
side of the locket
while i have the friends side
has abandoned me
and all I can think is
I'm freaking selfish
but not as selfish
as she was
for giving up on us all
the thing is
we all have our problems
but this is not
the way to go about it

This was amazing, very tragic, I am sorry. The ending rings out so true, and yet is so often goes unheard. Welcome to Poet Club Megan, I hope to see more of you.

hey there...first of all, i am so sorry. secondly, nice job on the poem. thirdly...i would just like to speak for your friend....in a way. ive never been in your situation, i've never lost a friend to suicide, but i have been in hers. yes, it is selfish of her, but unless you have really been through it, you have no idea. sometimes, your mind continues to tell you how worthless you are, how no one loves you, how much you will never amount to anything, and goes on and on about so many negative things that you cannot see the good no matter how hard you try, and no matter how much you wish you could have the strength to stay in this world, you know leaving it will cure your pain. that is where the selfishness comes in, but sometimes, there is nothing left. i, myself, struggled w/ this. i was suicidal. thankfully, there were only two ways i would go about it. we did not own a gun, so there went one way. i dont want to post my other idea because i dont want someone suffering now to get that idea, but there are reaons i couldnt do that as well. now that i look back, it was probably whatever little bit of hope i had in me holding me back. i also had ppl watching me like a hawk, and whenever i was at the brink i'd talk to my bf. he was the one who snapped me out of everything. so i am not saying what your friend did is right. i understand you are hurting and angry, but just try to even imagine what she was going through and you will understand why she felt it was what she must do. even when someone tells you they wont do it, dont trust them. when someone is that upset, words mean nothing. once again i am sorry. hang in there!

First off, welcome to the site, I hope you like it here...
Second, I can so relate to this piece, I have had friends who killed themselves because life was hard on them...
You've written an excellent piece, truly an emotional and powerful poem.

I'm sorry for your loss and hers. You sound like such a good friend and now she's missing out.

Since you only have one post, I take it that you haven't been back to read any of these. However, I feel compelled to reply. I had a very dear friend that did almost the same thing. He did not succeed in his attempt but he was to close for comfort. It saddened me greatly. I do feel your pain. I hope things better for you. God Bless, Tj

I believe that everything, EVERYTHING that happens in our lives, something good comes from it. This is a tragic time for you, but you have to look at what good, however hard it may be, that has come from it.
One example: don't make the same mistake she did. From this happening, you have seen all of the hurt that she has put others through. People will look at this, and think twice about doing the same thing. From her doing this to herself, she may have saved more lives in the process.
Nice write.

its always best to look at how this might help someone else. i know it hurts like hell, and i know your probably going over in your mind how you could have done something morre to prevent it. all i can say is everything happends for a reason, i have to believe that, cause if not, than so much is just crap (and no one needs to believe that). so i hope you feel better, and can get some closure on what ahppened, i hope theres someone there for you to talk to, and if you need someone you dont know, feel free to email me or something. anyways, nice poem.
