Hung Up on Betrayal
June 2, 2015
How did I not see your pain?
The way in which your smile fades
And turns over like a sideways crest.
Why could I not hear your cries?
The ones you so selfishly kept hidden
From society, but most importantly ME!
Why did you not tell me?
Tell me you needed help
Tell me you wanted out of this continuous cycle.
How am I suppose to forgive you?
For robbing me of our joyous future together.
Leaving me with no one to talk to,
The guidance of an overprotective big sis,
Of my best friend.
Worst of all—
You robbed me of YOU!

I had a cousin commit suicide and I felt so angry about it. How could he not know what his act did to those of us left behind?
I hope it will make people who are thinking about suicide stop and think about what it does to others.
