What drove you to this point
what thoughts were in your mind
did you think of the consequences
for those you left behind
What happened in that final hour
before your soul was released
was there a moment of regret
as you searched for peace
When you called out my name
so I could help you through
why didn't you hold the hand
that reached out for you
Did you think of your family
as you took your final breath
drifting towards the darkness
into the open arms of death
Can you see my heart
with all this pain inside
of never knowing the answer
to my question of... Why?
Do you know how much guilt
I still carry around with me
and all of those "what if's"
my mind throws back at me
You left behind your demons
leaving me no place to hide
I now carry them with me
a survivor of your suicide
