Pouring Raine

Depressed beyond words she reaches for her journal and writes her suicide note.

"Goodbye cruel world, may I rest in peace." was all she wrote.

She was only fourteen
and her name was Raine
she was stricken by grief,
no one knew of her pain.

Mommy was drunk,
and Daddy worked late,
Big Sis didn't care,
No one knew of her fate.

Schoolmates were mean,
she ate lunch all alone,
never once joined a team,
spent all her time at home.

She was in love with Jayden
he was her best friend,
but he couldn't be bothered with her,
so she decided on her end.

No one was ever home,
so the time didn't matter,
she swallowed the pills
and heard the bottle shatter.

Her eyes slowly closed,
she felt peace true and pure.
The was the way to die,
of this she was sure.

But where was the light?
There was nothing like that,
her body felt heavy
and all faded to black.

She awoke to pure darkness
and rubbed at her face.
She didn't recognize a thing,
what was this odd place?

She walked on for miles,
and finally saw,
her sister on the phone,
but her face was in awe.

The phone dropped from her hand
and she fell to the floor.
Raine ran over to soothe her,
but couldn't feel anymore.

"Sissy what's wrong!?!"
Raine screamed out so loud.
"ANSWER ME NOW!"
but Raine was enveloped by clouds.

Next she found mommy,
by a bottle of rum
Raine became ill,
to see what her mother had become.

Things became clear,
as he mother cried,
Raine slowly realized,
That she really had died.

She wanted the comfort
of her mothers grasp,
but she was unable to touch,
it was all happening so fast.

"Mommy I'm fine!
Please don't cry!
Mommy stop drinking!
I don't want you to die!"

But mommy couldn't hear,
all she could do was feel pain,
for a lost little soul,
her little baby Raine.

The clouds came again,
and Raine was with Dad.
He was being fired,
for his performance had gone bad.

Since the loss of his daughter
his work began to slide,
he stopped showing up,
and lost what was left of his pride.

With no money left,
and the family in ruins.
Raine's older sister
turned to prostitution.

Mom and Dad fought often,
until they got a divorce.
Each of them were broken,
and let life run it's course.

But worst off was Jayden,
For Raine was all he had,
little did she know,
he got beat by his dad.

Jayden only awoke,
because he knew he had Raine,
but now she was gone,
and he had nothing to gain.

Jayden loved her so much,
but now she was dead,
he felt so much hurt,
he couldn't get out of bed.

He dropped out of school,
and lost so much weight,
little did he know,
that drugs were his fate.

He couldn't take his pain,
so he numbed it with meth,
subtly hoping one day,
he'd feel the sweet embrace of death.

The clouds took Raine to Jayden
when he was at his worst.
He was coming down from a high,
and crazy with thirst.

She couldn't believe what she'd done,
to her mom and her dad,
to her sister and to
the best friend she ever had.

People's lives were broken,
because of her stunt.
good people were hurting,
for what she had done.

In taking her life,
she succeeded in more.
With a few little pills,
she had taken away four.
