Fade To Black

by Michelle   Mar 13, 2004


Way too brief your Season In The Sun
Much too young to die...
Now all that's left is my need for the answers
And Randy, the question is why??
What was it made you sink
To the depths of despair
Why is it, I wonder
You thought no one cared?
Were the signs I didn't read
Really there all along?
What was it made you feel
You couldn't be strong??
Why didn't you call me?
Why couldn't I see?
Why didn't anyone notice??
WHY did this have to be??
Why did you leave us
Without saying goodbye,
No longer a whole,
Hearts in pieces, to cry?
I've never experienced
Hurt such as this before...
How couldn't you have known
You had so much to live for???
I still think of you often
And wish you didn't have to go
I'll visit you on each special day
And hope that somehow, you know.
I've questioned so many sleepless nights
What your death was about
That cold dark evening in September
When you didn't reach out...
But took your life instead
And part of me too,
But the pieces that are left
Will always be missing you...
Your Act in this world over
You're not coming back.
Your light has gone out
Rest in peace...(fade to black)

Randy, I love you..will always love you, just wish I had said that sooner..and more...Sept. 22, 2001

    Michelle, this has really moved me. dont quite know how to write this comment. Would like to highlight some themes you have presented here but somehow the deeply personal nature of this piece makes it seem inappropiate. To me this shows how much inner strength you posses. To be able to focus on such a nightmarish time in yr life and still be able to write about it says to me that you are a survivor and have tremendous character.

    From what you have told me about yr dear brother and consequent turmoil that ensued, and then being able to pen such a poem fills me with nothing but respect for you.God bless you michelle and may God rest Randy`s soul.

    :( this was so depressing and I'm really sorry for you and your family had to go through ..... suicide is a horrible thing, and i hope that your brother took away his life for a good reason because LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS (as I always so) to be taken away for a foolish thing .....
