Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem after the suicide of my younger brother.It is dark in tone,because it expresses my anger and shock at what happened.

Why

Why

Empty dark eyes

Staring into space

Feeling devoid of purpose,

Have you embraced the grave?

Are you ready to leave behind ,

All that you love?

To give up your soul

For an unknown place

Without thought of the cost,

To those left behind.

Who will pick up the pieces

Of  a shattered life?

Is one fateful moment worth

All the pain?

You have passed on to the living,

On  one fateful day.
