What every person thinks of what every person thought of what every person said of what each might have done Trust gone out the window Fear won? © 2014 Paul R Taylor

Outside, a sunny day,
Celebrations, hip hooray. Hide away, what to do? Who to be? Missing you. Inside, quite subdued, Melancholy, in a mood. What to do, where to go, Even still I love you so. Gone away, won’t return, Feelings for you they still burn. Moving on? Can’t let go, In the quiet I miss you so. © 2002 Paul Taylor Written when others were enjoying the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. In February 2002 my wife Rosemary took her own life. When a loved one takes the path of suicide it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. It is difficult, maybe impossible, to understand why. Losing our friend is hard, Losing a partner is tough, But when they take their own life You feel you haven’t done enough - To help, to understand, to simplify their choices, You can tell yourself that they were sick, But you keep on hearing voices: If you’d done this or you’d done that They’d still be here today, The thoughts, the guilt, the blame, It just will not go away. But there are so many facets Each one has played its part, We've done what seemed best at the time, That felt right in our heart. |
