**~~TRIGGER WARNING~~** suicide, death, and depression are all being used in this. Please be warned. I don't have a name for this one, and it's not mine, either.

I killed myself in December last year

That Christmas
There were no Christmas trees
There was no Merry Christmas music playing
And there were no family dinners

My friends couldn't keep their heads up
They spent hours in their rooms
Screaming at nothing
Screaming that they'd do anything
For me to come back
And I was confused because I thought
And I believed that people
Would be happier without me

5 months after I died it was April
The flowers were blooming
The leaves were turning green once again
Spring was starting
But I still hadn't seen my
Friends and family smile
Like they had when I
Was around

I started to think
Maybe people did love me
Maybe I was the one who made
Their lives worth living
Maybe I was the only one
Who tried to make that
Boy in math class smile everyday
Because I knew what it was like
To not be able to laugh
And now he has a reason to smile

Maybe people did miss me
And maybe people really did care about me

Too bad they didn't start showing it
Until I was gone

f.c.
