Goodbye fragile soul
Sadness overwhelmed the heart
Of a fourteen year old today
He fought and he fought
But the dark swallowed him
I shed these tears for him
I whisper his name to the stars
And scream it to the clouds
The words scraped across his already bleeding heart
"******" "loser" "poser" "freak"
Each another cut into his flesh
Until they added up to the rope around his neck,
Swinging there lifeless the angles cried for him
And we lost him, and then they all care
Not when he pleaded for the help when we had a chance to save him
Not when his heart still beat firmly in his chest
Not when his skin was still warm
Only now do the tears splash upon his cold body
Only now do they ask god for him back
When he no longer breathes
When he no longer smiles
Or laughs ...or lives
I hold the memory of you In my arms
As I struggle not to leave myself
As I fight not to follow you home
Because though it hurts
I will live for you
I will go all the places you can't anymore
Breathe for us both
Smile and laugh for your spirit
Just promise to be at peace
And rest your eyes
Good bye
