Suicide

She told him goodbye�
He drank a little too much.
From the cell phone he called,
�Take me back, or I�ll jump.�

The fall seemed short
As he peered over the edge.
She said no way.
He climbed onto the ledge.

She�ll regret it forever.
They found his body battered
At the bottom of the canyon.
Her heart has shattered.

I didn�t know him
But it saddens me still
When I think of what he could�ve been
And now never will.

~For a young boy who took his life because his girlfriend told him goodbye.~
