Ending It

I read the paper the other day A story how a girl took her life away The paper just simply said She put a bullet in her head As I was about to put the paper down I caught a glimpse of her name I couldn't believe my eyes I almost went insane She had been a friend of mine We once shared more than time I still think of her often Together we learned about love She said, I was her closest friend We vowed to be friends to the very end When I was troubled or all alone I could always get her on the phone She would always lend an ear When I had to shed a tear It seems she was always near To help chase away my fears She was always there for me No matter the time of day But when she needed someone the most That's when I was away Going to her funeral was very hard to do To see her lying in her casket Many wondered why she did what she did I said, it's a question that can't be answered So why even ask it 7-25-05/RjH
