Empty Seat

by Fighter (Ariane L.)   Dec 18, 2004


Suicide...
Such a powerful word...
The word sends shivers down my spine,
Down this body that seems to be mine.

The whole class stays quiet,
We're all looking at the teacher,
Watching her stunned reaction
As we hear the announcement.

We all loved her
She was funny, loving,
She had it all
And yet, no one really knew her...

If I would've listened
To my best friend
When she needed help,
Maybe her seat wouldn't be empty...

Suicide...
Such a powerful word
For a powerful action...

    they actually do say that over the announcement... they also ask for a minute of silence, in respect
