The Strings That Bound You, Broke You
Goodbye, little girl
TW: Suicide
Oh, little one.
Why did you act so?
Oh, little bird.
Why did you decide to fly
Before your wings soared?
Oh, pretty baby.
Why did you leave all of us
Before your time?
Oh, what woes did you carry,
That the weight became
Too heavy
For you to bear.
What shame, sorrow, guilt did you hold
That you couldn't share with the world?
Answers we will probably never have.
You were too young
To be so responsible
So scared of breaking in front of loved ones
My dear,
If only you would've screamed and shouted
For help,
We wouldn't be wailing at your funeral.
Rest well, dear girl.
Be at peace.

Beautiful sadness
Oh no, I hope this is just fictional. If it isn't, then I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺
