From Now On
They said it was suicide
When I heard, it was like I was collapsing inside,
All I could feel was my heart breaking
My whole body was aching and aching.
You disappeared
I watched you die
You joined mum
Up there in the sky.
You wanted to
That much I knew
You said you couldn't carry on
You said goodbye
And with it I went along...
Looking back
I might've stopped you,
Looking back
I might've been able to save you,
Looking back
You showed all the signs
Of someone who couldn't cope with life any more
And you finally crossed the line.
You made sure
You wouldn't live
For you to come back
What I wouldn't give...
To jump off a cliff
Into the icy waters below
I couldn't believe my eyes
As I watched you go...
Plummeting down and down
I could see you were screaming
But I couldn't hear a sound
Until you cracked your head
On a rock in the sea
That was when I knew
You were definitely dead.
I couldn't move
I was frozen to the spot
I went shivery
And then I went hot.
People came
They tried to usher me away
But I didn't want to
All I wanted to do was stay.
I couldn't believe
That my dad
Had done something so stupid,
Something so mad.
There was no one there
To comfort me
There was no one there
To cuddle me,
There was no one there
To show they care
There was no one there for me
No one,
No one,
No one,
Everyone I knew
Was gone...
I lay awake at night
And still I couldn't cry
My mum and dad both dead
What I couldn't understand was why?
In the space of a year
My world was no more
My life was dead
So show me the door...
No friends,
No family,
I'm so lonely...
Goodbye everyone, because I guess from now on
It's just me.

Crikey I have read quite a few sad poems on here, but that is right up there as one of the saddest of all.
Take care

Thank you for commenting
Sorry it's quite a sad one, I wrote this three years ago when I was thirteen, and my parents had both died in the space of four months, so I wasn't feeling too great to say the least, but I've moved on a bit since then-though thanks for saying what you did ♥
You don't have to be sorry,
You don't have to be sorry, it must have been a terrible time for you. To write that at thirteen years old is amazing.

It was, and sometimes still
It was, and sometimes still is, I didn't think it was amazing at the time, just full of remorse and guilt, thinking I could have prevented it in some way, but I guess it is OK... Thanks Andrew ♥

Thank you
I know it is, when I felt this sad I vowed to never feel like this again, but you never know what life's going to throw up, do you? Thanks again Dave ♥
