Rest In Peace Because I Can't

It has been seven years since you died.
You took your life and tried to justify it.
You left us all broken hearted.
We all forgave you, but we can't forget.

You knew I was there for you.
I took your pain and made it mine.
I would've done anything for you.
If it meant you would've been fine.

You should have come to me.
No matter the time of day.
I would have protected you.
Instead you ran the other way.

You were never a burden.
You were the light in our lives.
A light that was suddenly taken,
by the act of suicide.

You took a piece of me with you.
You cut my heart so deep.
I know it will never mend.
It's a scar that I have to keep.

Could I have done more?
The question haunts me so.
Could I have?
Only you would know.

I gave you all my love.
We shared all our secrets.
We promised each other.
Yet, you didn't keep it.

That's what haunts me the most.
You swore you'd stand beside me.
We were supposed to fight together.
Chase our dreams and succeed.

Now I'm kneeling here.
Looking at this cold grey stone.
A chill spreads through my body.
Sending a shiver through my bones.

I'm leaving with you these roses.
To complement your beautiful soul.
Baby girl, you rest in peace now.
Because I can't, as you know.
