One Person

Cousin.
Brother.
Best friend.
All one person
and now he’s dead.
He left in an instant.
Left me alone.
Left all his family.
Why?
I don’t know.
Grief stricken
familiar faces.
False smiles
and empty eyes.
Hollow silence
as days go by.
I keep being told,
“after time it’ll get better.”
but as time moves forward,
I don’t believe it.
The pain that I’m feeling,
will never end.
I am heartbroken
and changed for life.
Because my brother,
took his life.

(2012)

I wrote this poem soon after my cousin Jeremy killed himself. He was extremely important to me, we grew up together, and his death left a gaping hole in my life and heart. I will forever miss him, but I will continue living. One loss of life doesn't mean my life has to stop. It took me a bit to realize that. Writing helped me heal a lot after his death so you will probably read a lot of poems about my "brocuz" as my sister called him.
