To Liberty II

I think I'm wrong

But did you secretly

Read my books

When we were

No longer friends

I know I did

I checked every day

To see if you had posted

Something that might be

Close to a suicide note

Or maybe something about

Me

I saw it and it

Killed me inside

I'm so sorry

I knew this was it

I had no second chances left

And then

I sat in my bed

And I looked

At all of the recent suicides

In your state

That we had shared

When I was visiting family there

Back when we were friends

But I was looking

To see if I had killed you

Metaphorically

Like Augustus Waters

He loved metaphors

But he died

And by saying those words

I guess I made you

Crack

And I am so sorry

I can't live without

The guilt haunting me

That I might

Have pushed someone

Over the edge like that

But like Hazel Grace Lancaster said

I said nine because

I was saving my ten

And I don't know how

Many nights I've

Stared at the ceiling

Tears trickling down my

Face

Wondering if you were dead

Because of me

I was wondering if I had

Murdered you

I hoped not

I wish I could go there

And hug you

Maybe share all

Of the stupid jokes we had

Make you laugh

I didn't want you

To die

I was blinded by anger

And I guess it

Ruined our friendship

I'm so sorry

I hope you forgive me

I never wanted to murder you

Metaphorically

Like Augustus Waters

He loved metaphors

But he died

Like Hazel Grace Lancaster said

I said nine because

I was saving my ten.
