David
I Will Love You Forever
*Trigger Warning: Suicide* If you ever need someone to talk to, no matter the time, just dial 988 from your phone. Someone is always there.
The cracks in the sidewalk had
tree roots popping through
and I longed for you to finally
come join me
So I could show you everything
Everything in this world
So long, many years now
You grew up beyond the child I knew
The robot button, blue of Long Island
all just memories in my heart
I do not know what your heart felt
When you raised the gun to your head
Did you hesitate? Was it accidental?
These are the questions
a mother will never know,
helplessly holding onto threads
of a person who was gone
before anyone could get him back.
There is more to say
But that is deep inside
and will remain between you and I
perhaps to come forward at
another day, a different time
All I know for certain
is the pain is palpable and real,
unforgiving and echoing.
I miss you, David.
