I shouldn't have believed her

With tears in her eyes

A smile ghosting her face

It was in this moment

She said she was okay

She told me she'll be fine

While looking into my eyes

A part of me didn't believe her

I pushed the thought away

Maybe if I'd paid more attention

She'd still be alive today

Her depression was like a cancer

It slowly ate away her sanity

Yet still she wore her mask

Pretended like everything was alright

Knowing that it wasn't.

It is so hard dealing with depression, there seems to be no hope, or light at the end of the tunnel. There is nothing you could of done or said to have stopped her. I hope you don't blame yourself? I had a similar situation with a friend. Its horrible and sad. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! So sad the effects of depression and ultimately suicide.
