Why Didn't I Say?

How could I?
Why didn't I?
I could of saved a life...
And I didn't say that I knew he was going to die
You could of saved him
But I was afraid
Now me and my friend are both lost in sadness because she lost him
Me because I should of said
I knew...
I knew...
I knew he would die
I know it every time
He would leave this earth
And now I can't stand this...
It's my fault
I don't know it would have of worked
But I should of said
No matter what emotion my friend then felt to me...
But I was afraid
I didn't know what she and her family would say
I didn't know what people would think
Would they think I crazy?
Am I crazy?
Is that what happened to my grand father and almost own father?
They have this hellish curse too
An ability that is not right
And now I have it too
I can feel whats happening next
I knew he would die
And I don't even know I could have done a thing
But here I am
Full of regrets
And it's all my fault
I didn't say
Because no matter how many exercises I do...
I'm still weak
And afraid
And I can't stand it...
Because...
I didn't say...
But I can still say one thing
Sorry Samantha
Sorry No Name
I never met you in real life but I knew and,
I Didn't Say.

Wow. I loved the way you ended this. I didn't expect that at all but it was really great.
The regret was strongly expressed in a way that made the reader feel like they were the one with the regret. Very easy to get into this one!
Good work.

Another superb dark poem. You have a true talent for writing about the darker things in life, and you communicate them in an efficient and precise manner. I see no real mistakes with this, so you can congratulate yourself on another success! Keep up the good work!

I appreciate this so much Leigh, you can't even begin to comprehend. Don't apologize for something you didn't do. No one really knows how anything is going to turn out in this life. As much as I miss him, Oskar missed him more. It took him 3 or 4 days just to come back into the house to sleep at night, and it's been very rainy and cold these past few days. Death usually comes in three's. First my two birds, now No Name. He was old, he was sick, and I'd like to think he's in a better place now, not suffering, yet I do hope he knows that we love him, miss him, and thank him for enriching our lives with his 13 years of life.

This is a sad story, but you telling it will help others. When someone tells you they are going to do this they want you to help. If you just knew it might be best to tell any adult that you trust and ask them for their guidance! Usually it is better to be thought of as different with friends, than quiet without Friends! Don't be hard on yourself we all have to learn somehow. You just had to learn the hard way. Now anyone that reads your work will know one answer! Anthony

Leigh,

I would check the spelling of the write. But there is a interesting message being expressed. I am wondering what exactly you mean by why didn't I say? Was it a premonition? Do you believe you have a third eye? Interesting?
