Warning Signs

How did I not notice?
Why didn't I focus?

You cut yourself from everyone.
Then you left this world with a gun.

You tried to ring to say the depression had grown.
But I was too busy to pick up the phone.

I'm so so sorry.
Please forgive me.

I wish you were still here.
Every time I see your grave I shed a tear.

When I first heard the news.
I didn't know why it was you I had to lose.

The image of that bullet in your head haunts my dreams.
My mind is on the brim of tearing at the seams.

Oh why didn't I read the warning signs?
