"The loss of a Life
leads to the destruction
of another

A miserable soul,
looking for an
easy way to
end the pain.

Finding only the
path of destruction,
for the most wanted
precious release.

Unbearable guilt
and misery eating
away slowly at
the conscious mind.

Finally giving
away into the
guilt and
breaking down.

Using the one
escape found
as a precious
way away from pain.

The loss of a Life
leads to the destruction
of another.

The author's comments:
I wrote this when I found out one of my friends committed suicide. I felt it was a way to express how suicide affects not only you, but those around you.

In memory of Zachary.
