    **untitled**

    a reminder of a time i cant forget
    a life altering event
    a vision i never saw that plays in my head
    of the recently dead


    an act of selfishness some would say
    too afraid of the questions that remain
    "how could you... why oh why...
    "we didnt even get to say goodbye"


    the final act of a conscious mind
    to proud to have us watch her die
    taking her life into her own hands
    making the decision of where it ends


    doing what she thought was right
    ending the pain by taking her life
    a bold statement she made to us all
    a measure of strength ill forever recall


    there are those who say she committed a sin
    the only one that you cannot repent
    a moment of weakness and the demons came in
    and guided her to do what she did


    where was her god when she needed him most
    an imaginary friend nothing more than a joke
    the god that she loved had abondoned her
    and did not help when her weakness occured


    so while others have anger for the thing that she did
    and those people cast stones for unforgivable sin
    i look to her god and give him my blame
    and for my auntie jo i carry no shame

    "where was her god when she needed him most an imaginary friend nothing more than a joke.." This is a perfect poem. I've attempted twice. Powerful point that comes across in this one. Saved to faves and a ten from me. All the best -Marion-

    thank you yet again marion... this one was very hard for me to write hard to get through and still tough for me to read

    beautiful expression, D... I'm sure she was a lovely woman with great strength and pride... it only takes one to understand... she had you...

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
