Literature Text

When you enter the debris of a neat suburban home
Avert your eyes onto the pine and chrome
Don't look at the shards of shiny happy guys
Because you may see your reflection in their eyes
Your blank eyes and scarred wrists
In you their hopelessness also exists.

Do you feel their suppression?
Taste that bitter sweet depression
You're just like them, you feel the loss
The black sheep's gone but at what cost?
There is no friction but there is neither a spark
The future seems empty and stark.

That argument seems so pointless now
You pushed her over the edge, Mum, take a bow
Responsible, you say, you are not,
Is that why you wake, screaming and hot
From dreams of nooses, blades, pills and heights?
And you know it was you that caused those fights.

That last note, found in her hand
Said "Sorry Mum, you'll never understand"
Now you're daughter is gone, dead
And her words are decaying, congealing in your head
Like her, you see her deep in the earth
It's your fault, you never spoke of her worth.

So wrapped in yourself you don't see your son
He's drinking and fighting, raging at everyone
There's a pattern forming here but you don't see
That your big brave boy is making a plea
He want's your attention and he needs your love
Because you are the affliction and the cure thereof.
What happens to the family of a suicide victim?
