We were 8
When we first met
My smile as bright as your blue-green eyes
We were 9
Absoulutely inseperable
Together every moment of every day
We were 10
You said we couldn't be friends
I ws a girl; you were a boy...
It wasn't right
Neither of us even knew what it meant
We were 15
The first time you said, "I love you."
I was 16
When I first said it back
We were 17
When you were taken away
I wanted to save you
But it was too late
I was 18
When I felt the black cloud surround me
Just like what you describe in your journal
And I knew
I wasn't far behind you
I was 19 when I became just like you
10 feet under the ground
Never thought of again
1 year had passed
Everyone mourned
It shouldn't be like this
No one should be sad
5 years passed and the cemetary was filling up
10 years passed when tragedy struck
Heaven and Hell were filling up
And back down again we went
Back to the real Hell on Earth
We became human again
And then the cycle repeated
And here we are again
Back up watching everyone else struggle to survive

Author's Note
I try not to do many of these, just because I know that I don't enjoy reading them.
But I just wanted to say that the whole idea of this poem (for those of you who don't get it) is that two teenagers commited suicide and then everyone around them realized what happened and were upset that they didn't notice. So people became depressed, and killed themselves.
I know this isn't exactly what some of you believe in, and that's completely fine with me. If you could not leave me hate comments, that'd be great. I know everyone has different views on religion, these are just mine. So if you don't agree, could you just kindly move on please. :p Thanks
And I know this isn't happy, but like I've said before, I don't write about happiness.
