ILLEGIBLE

The final note...

ILLEGIBLE
It almost went unnoticed.
So thin and chalkboard common,
Lying silent and still as the air in June.

It could have gone unnoticed.
Who would have thought to look
For it there beneath the amber light.

I wish it had gone unnoticed.
His final words scrawled in defeat....
Illegible to everyone but me.

The emotional pain in this one cuts like a knife. You continue to mourn him....I am sure you always will. Losing a close friend or family member to suicide is a tragedy. I know all too well. Lydi**

Thank you for a beautiful and compassionate review Lydi. My son did not commit suicide and for that I can be doubly grateful. And you are correct when you state and I continue to mourn him and always will. I so appreciate your friendship Lydi! ~Sharon
