Twenty Six She'd Be

A piece of my heart set to pen of page as the telling of a true life story that, tragically, ended in Suicide the night I saw her last

As numbing doubts assail me,

Cast adrift in an endless sea,

Lost within shadows silence,

Heart torn asunder in violence.

I seek from you yet an answer,

As one within a fire a dancer,

Sobbing screaming a wailing,

The ship of truth never sailing.

Why is it that she's gone away,

Someone's sickly idea of play,

Stealing life so young so sweet,

Torn prey beneath a lion's feet?

What secret words were uttered,

As her bread you aptly buttered,

Feeding her your serpentine lie,

Craftily leading her away to die?

Did it put a smile upon your face,

As she put the rope noose in place,

Was your evil appetite at all sated,

As from this world her life faded?

Were your eyes filled with ecstasy,

Setting loose the wailing banshee,

Tasting the sweetness of her death,

Her breasts no more rising in breath?

Her mom and dad sobbing in heaves,

As you enjoy the evil you conceived,

The lowering of the casket to ground,

Dirt thrown making a ghastly sound.

November 16^th, twenty six she'd be,

Yet another birthday she would see,

Except for you O' Mighty Macbeth,

Proving your prowess in her death.

One day we shall meet face to face,

Your lies no longer finding a place,

Upon her shoulders so sweet to ride,

As you talk young girls into suicide.

On that day not a one will protest

The gallows putting suicide to rest,

Then peace shall return like a dove,

Leaving me to long for her true love.

Author's Note

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Suicide is never an answer for life's problems. Suicide is also not a cardinal sin. But, Suicide is an irreversible mistake from which there is no return, no reset or system restore, and it is not a video game where one can purchase another chance at life, for Suicide deletes and terminates, forever, your one and only existence, and here and now is the only life you will ever have, and once done you shall remain dead in the cold, cold, ground for a long, long time, because there is no Heaven and there is no Hell. You have one life to live. Please do not waste it as did this girl that I cared for so very much. She was a very special girl, a girl who lit up every room she ever walked into. Separated from my wife at the time, I knew I was too old for her, and told her so, told her that I would always love my wife, though I did love and care for her as well. I awoke the next morning to learn that she had taken her life during the wee hours of the night, news that will haunt me until my dying day. I will be sharing other poems I have written about the sweet and wonderful girl she was as a Memorial to keep her memory alive as a stern warning to any and all who would or might contemplate taking their own lives ...

[Chris Shaw]

Such a tragedy. Suicide leaves such dreadful guilt in the minds of friends and relatives in the aftermath. Blaming themselves for not picking up on the signs. Such a violent and shocking way to end a young life. Sad poem Marvin.
