A Double Sacrifice For Love [Ending]

Here is Part 4. If you haven't read the others, you won't understand. Thank you for getting this far.
---------------------------------------

Awakened in the hospital
Questioned by the police
Interviewed by the news
It was like this for weeks

She went into his funeral
Stood away near the wall
She couldn't bear to see
She couldn't take it at all

She went up to his casket
Later, crying out her eyes
Praying up to the heavens
That soon she would die

She said some words quick
While they would come out
“I love you…Thank you…”
Then the tears streamed out

She could say nothing more
Her body was feeling weak
Before she closed the casket
She kissed his lips and cheek

She watched him leave her
As the casket lowered down
She couldn't bare the thought
Of him six feet under ground

For many nights she cried
Calling his name every night
She blamed herself for it all
For not holding on that tight

People tried to comfort her
But she didn't seem to care
She sat inside her room all day
Only because he wasn't there

Weeks later she lived in pain
Finally deciding to kill herself
She knew it would be selfish
But it was all that could help

She found a blade and used it
Placing it hard against her skin
“If I cannot be with him here
Then this is the way I'll win”

Pressing hard against her vein
As the blood slowly did appear
The pain trickled in her body
And yet still she did not fear

With every cut she had a flash
Of the dreadful day he died
She never left him to get help
Would he live if she had tried?

She knew he really loved her
At the thought of someone else
He was just confused at the time
And he blamed it on himself

She remembered their last words
As if it was happening right now
Her head was spinning back in
Time, and she didnt know how

“I love you, and I forgive you
And I promise I will forever
If you leave I am coming too
And then we will be together”

With that thought it happened
The blade fell through the floor
If she wanted to change her
Mind she couldnt do it anymore

She hit hard onto the ground
Her head spinning at her fall
“There was no point in staying
Because that day I lost it all...”

Soaked in blood on the carpet
She gripped her arm in pain
Once again she felt that feeling
That she still cannot explain

She gasped in her last moments
But she didn't want to go back
“Baby I will be with you now”
And then everything went black

    Oh my god. I don't ever cry, and this poem brought tears to my eyes. It was amazingly written and just...wow! I don't even think i can articulate it into words how wonderful it is. Since it's based on a true story, i send out hugs to all affected by this. I am truly sorry that happened to them and to the people close to those two. No one should have to endure such pain. I cannot wait to read some more of your work....*stands in awe* 5/5 for sure. And take care, and keep writing. If everything is as amazing as that...wow *stands in awe some more* oh, is it okay if I give credit to that if I post it on another Poem site? I will credit you, anyone who writes that well deserves credit! Okay now I'm done rambling. Take care *big hug*
