Lost You To Suicide

Another seven months have passed
It's been so very long
I can't believe you left me
I thought you were more strong

If only you had the slightest idea
Of how my life is now
I know you'd be right by side
Without asking "why" or "how"

But never will you know again
Because you're not here anymore
I miss you dearly, with all my heart
It's just not the same as before

I know you had a problem
And you know I shared it too
But I never would have thought
Cutting would have done this to you

So now I tend to blame myself
For your continuing self-harm
I never tried to stop you
Or the blood trails on your arm

Instead I did the dumbest thing
I sat and bled with you
We never tried to stop ourselves
Just pushed the blade right through

And now you're gone so far away
And you left me in despair
You managed to break our promise
It really isn't fair

You broke the promise we both made
You took your precious life
And I broke the promise you asked of me
I still live by the knife

Danielle, you are like a sister
A sister I've never had
I lost you, sister, to suicide
Now I'm hurting twice as bad

*R.I.P. Danielle*
