A/N: It took me a while to write this, but I’m glad I finally got it all out. My uncle-figure committed suicide in the summer of 2001. It took a while to get things in order, and I worked real hard on this. So if you have anything rude or discouraging to say (ß that’s not something I say every day…) your review will be deleted. I took thins very hard, and I don’t need something like that to bring me down again. So no flames please.

"One Wish"

Why did you do what you did?

You were an uncle to me,

Having known you since I was just a kid.

I was so shocked to hear

Of your very untimely end…

I don’t think I’ll ever

Be the same again.

I know that it was your fault,

But you didn’t have to do it.

And now my legs and insides melt

Every time I think of it.

I see your face

Every single night.

And every time I see you there,

You manage to give me

Such a fright.

I cried for a week

Almost non-stop.

I miss you so much now…

I have to say

That none can top

You in any way.

We all took it hard,

My dad most of all.

And come time for the funeral,

Down to my knees is where I fall…

I pray to God,

I pray to all…

I want to come back,

I don’t want you in that casket.

As I say my prayer,

I hear your voice inside my head.

I know you’re not really there,

As I can see you in front of me

Dead.

But listen I do,

And your voice comes clearly through.

You tell me it’s okay,

And that you wanted it this way.

A whole year later

I still feel the pain.

That can clearly be seen…

And I can tell you now,

That if I had just one wish,

It would be to bring you back

So I don’t have to live through this…

END.
