Regretful Mistake

BANG...
There were sounds in the streets
Where people start to scream
Call the ambulance as they see him bleed
Look at the blood flow from his head
As he lay there half dead
If you were in this situation
What would you say or instead
Would you just walk away
Knowing you couldn’t do anything but stay
And scream call the ambulance
This guys going to die
You want to cry because you know what you did
This kid was your best friend
You wanted to play pretend
With your fathers gun
Playing dare with blank bullets
And see who would of won
But its to late you made the mistake
And now your gonna break
As you watch them take your best friend
Down town to go to the hospital
And now you start popping pills
Because your scared of the cost because you lost
What would you do now
That your best friend might be gone
Would you go along and join him because you regret
That you accidentally forget
To make sure that the bullets were all blank
Did you even think on saying stop this is wrong
No you were to scared fearing
He would laugh at you for acting like a mom
So now you are starting to cry
Big tear drops in your eyes as they start to fall
Then you get a call
"Hello sir we have some bad news your best friend died this
Afternoon" you hang up as you say damn
Under your breath because you forget to check
If all the bullets in the gun were still left
Because if they were it was your turn to die
You make a mistake and took another’s life
Because you were to scared
Of being called a name now your best friend is gone
Isn’t it insane how one mistake can cost a life
You grow up now with a child and a wife
you remember back to the past
And remember your best friends face
You start to feel out of place
You cant help but see the images race
As you see him try to reach out a hand
But you cant you just stand cant you be a man
As you say to yourself but there isn’t anyone else
Then fear comes over you
Knowing you were hiding the truth
You wanted to die too because
You did lose you saw him in front of you
As you didn’t choose to tell him
No so this is the end of the show its time to go
As you pull the same gun
That you had when you were young and said good bye
Ashamed that you had a children and wife
With tears in your eyes
You let the bullet go through you
Because you feel like this is the truth
And this is what you want
Because you did lose that day
You lost all your dignity and your faith
To smile and laugh now you land on your a*s
See the path that build up all your wrath
The hate of yourself because you killed someone else
Feeling like you don’t deserve to live
You killed this kid your best friend
All your life you had to pretend
That you were just fine
As you race time waiting to die
Because all you could do every night was cry
Feeling guilt inside you couldn’t hide
As the blood rushes down you
Watch your wife scream as she hits the ground
Crying on the floor as she slams the door
So the child wont come in
She calls 911 and hopes you can win
And not die as tears run down her eyes
You realize you made another mistake
Your life is not the only one you are gonna take
But the opportunities your child cant make
Because you couldn’t teach them the father ways
Because you took your life today
Because you felt disgrace
For letting your friend die that day
And now you take your life too
And your family will suffer because of you
And your choice cant you see
When people don’t have a voice they scream inside
They start to die... maybe go far as suicide
People need someone to talk to
Even if its just stupid to you just have an open ear
Because someday you will have the same pain
And fear as you see tears run down your face
You don’t want to go away filled with disgrace...
This is the story of a boy who lost it all
As you see him fall he calls out his friends name...
And says he is sorry for making that mistake that day....
But nothing will change...because of you
Now look at what your family will have to go through
No one deserves to die
And feel the empty hollow feeling inside
As you leave others behind.... this is the pain of suicide

Author's Note

This did not happen its just a story that came to mind that I decided to write, it is sad, I agree.

This is a very long poem. I like it though. I'm glad to have read it.
