The Hardest Forgiveness in Suicide

My soul has always belonged to God

But my soul-light could not shine

Body and brain were tortured by things of this world

Rational thinking not possible

Consequences not comprehensible

I never intended to hurt you, my love

Human bodies have frailties that love cannot fix

I didn’t expect you to fight this world for me

I only wanted you to be you.

It was you that I loved, not what you could do for me.

I set my soul free, shook off the bondage of my human form.

I have returned to my God.  He understands what I have done.

I can feel your pain and guilt, but remember this…

You did not cause me to free my soul.  Forgive yourself.
