TW: References to depression and suicide. This is a very sad one shot and I apologise in advance for that.

It was all of our faults
That's what they said
If it wasn't for us
Then he wouldn't be dead

The superhero cried
For he couldn't save everyone
He mastered killing physical demons
Not the mental ones

The magician lost his spark
He wished there was a spell
For waking up the dead
"I'll find one!" He'd yell

The silent one wanted to scream
But his mouth was taped shut
He wished and he wished
He could have spoken up

For he had seen the depressed one cry
All those times he lied and said he was fine
The nights he'd wake up with a jolt
Screaming every time

The doctor had nightmares
He had blood on his hands
He could have done more
He could have saved the man

The demon felt sorrow
For the first time in his life
He shed a single tear
And threw away his knife

This was their fault, that's what they thought
They could have noticed the battle he had fought
They could have offered him the help he sought
In the end, with a gun he was caught

They should have been better friends
They should have listened to him then
They should have noticed when
He wasn't okay then it wouldn't have needed to end

There were the occasional times
When they saw a figure in the hall
Or heard someone crying in his old bedroom
They'd always jump and almost fall

If they did things different he might still be here
They all succumbed to the numb
Gunshots in the night, echoing, taunting...
Inside their own rooms, they each held a gun

Oh and, just to say, I got a new laptop for my birthday so I should start updating a bit more often? Potentially? My old laptop didn't connect to the internet very well which meant it was always a huge pain transferring one shots onto Wattpad. Now it's much easier for me :)
