You chose this

By Lylani

You chose this
You OD'd...
Over dosed
Made a really tough decision 
And followed through
You gave up
You stopped fighting
You killed yourself
You left

Your cold empty shell
left here for me to find
No sleep I can wake  you from
No tommorrow to think of
No fresh memories to make

This is it
The book read
The story over

You chose this
I hope it was worth it
I hope you found peace 
I hope if you look down 
You won't regret this
When you see all those who cared 


I saw you struggle
But I will never understand
How a father leaves a son
And I will never have an answer worthy of my boy
when he asks why daddy died
