Suicide
Such a delicate matter,
“we don’t talk about that”.
So unwilling, a feeling,
let’s ignore all the facts.
Let’s ignore the signs,
because to speak would bring truth.
It’s an out of bounds subject,
that’s strictly uncouth.
A therapist, what for?
You’re gonna be fine.
What do you mean you’re depressed?
Just have a glass of wine.
What do you mean you texted?
Of course I didn’t leave you on read.
You’re being over dramatic,
of course you’re not better off dead.
Sorry, I’ve been busy,
ya I know you wanted to talk.
Is it important?
Cause I’m going for a walk.
Haven’t heard from you in awhile,
are you doing ok?
Hello?! Are you there?!
It’s been like three days!
Ok, you’re starting to scare me,
please answer your phone.
No one can get ahold of you,
Hello? Hello?!
