THE LOST LETTER

FAREWELL

“Can we go and see him please”
His girlfriend said while wiping her tears.

“Yes I’ll take you, I even called his father to come, so we might find him there”
His aunt replied.
While driving
I looked out window,
Saw families, children playing, couples holding hands,
Everyone seemed happy,

Life is like a masquerade party,
We all put on a mask
To hide the scary things we go through
                                                       _f.p

Kept on looking at his girlfriend and she looked so miserable
Powerless and empty
I don’t blame her, this is too much for her
It was too much for me
I’ve never had someone come to me for help but they end up
Committing suicide

But I mean you never know what that person felt at the time
He’s the one that has all the answers to this whole thing

Why didn’t he warn anyone?
He could have called me
I would have stopped him from all of this

While in my thoughts his girlfriend starts to talk in a very sad tone

“You know I hurt him, we were trying to work things out
He promised to take me out, but here I am, alone…I can’t get him out of my head, his smile
His eyes, his voice like, I just can’t…”

It’s okay, you’ll get through this, I’m here to help you

When we got to the hospital
We waited for the nurses to take us to him
So we can say our goodbyes and let him rest.

One nurse then decided to take us to him,
Fortunately he hasn’t left the hospital yet.
And when we got there, a man was with him,
I was pretty sure it was his father…
And so we let him finish and let him accept that his poor son,
Is no more.
I watched him, crying, holding his hand
As if his crocodile tears will wake him up,
And the more he did that the angrier I got.

To hell with this I’m going for him,
I said in my mind
I greeted him properly
And I asked

Are you “his” father?

“Yes I am, sad news I received” he replied
