His Tree

by Suicidal Love   Apr 19, 2008


Your message written on the wall in blood
You made it sound so easy
The world was too much
The people too many
So you ended it

Now its all over, we're at the end
Leaving me to explain
For I found the body
I saw the blood
I have the dreams

I still see the stains on my hands
And dripping down the wall
Your brother running in
Sinking to the floor
He blames himself

But life goes on, for me anyway
Though he saw your body too
He couldn't take the pain
Your brothers body found
Hanging from his tree

    I love the way you did not rhyme at the end, it added much emphasis to what you were saying.

    "Now its all over, we're at the end
    Leaving me to explain
    For I found the body
    I found the blood
    I have the dreams"

    This almost made me cry, i'm not even kidding. *I found the blood, I have the dreams* This makes me realize of what you are going through. Simple words, but because they are so simple, it hits me harder.

    "I still see the blood on my hands
    And dripping down the wall
    Your brother running in
    Sinking to the floor
    He blames himself

    But life goes on, for me anyway
    Though he saw your body too
    He couldn't take the pain
    Your brothers body found
    Hanging from his tree"

    These last 2 paragraphs tied everything together for me. The way you wrote it was able to let me know what happened after this person's death.

    This poem shows how one person's suicide will always affect the people they leave behind. It shows it beautifully. If this really happened to you, i'm deeply sorry, and I can only hope that this experince will make you stronger.

    5/5
    Keep writing
