Dedication: To Daryle, may his broken soul rest in peace, and to his friends and family, lay their broken hearts to rest, and to my sister, Lisa. May she mind the stregth I know she has to get through this.

Crushed Soul

Walking along an empty path,

where pain crushes the soul.

Painful emotions cloud your mind.

Darkness has taken its toll.

You wonder how they felt,

at their last moment on Earth.

And though it pains you to think it,

Maybe they regretted their own birth.

You wonder what made them do it.

What could have been so bad?

That they would take their own life.

That something could make them so sad.

And somehow you can't help but blame yourself.

You think perhaps you were too late.

That you could have helped,

and they simply refused to wait.

But no matter what anyone says,

truly no ones to blame

And though it should never be an answer,

it was the refuge their heart needed to be tame.

But always look on the bright side.

This darkness will one day fade.

They are in a better place,

and they hope you will make it day by day.
