Though I chose death instead of pointless pain, <br />Please forgive the manner of my leaving. <br />My love and need for all of you remain. <br />I could not long such suffering sustain, <br />Nor would it long have held you from your grieving. <br />Though I chose death instead of pointless pain, <br /> <br />I hope that choice will not my memory stain, <br />Nor lead you to be wroth at my deceiving. <br />My love and need for all of you remain. <br /> <br />For only in you do I live again, <br />Woven like a wind into your weaving. <br />Though I chose death instead of pointless pain, <br /> <br />I put to you the plea of the self-slain: <br />To comprehend an anguish past conceiving. <br />My love and need for all of you remain <br /> <br />That all that I have been not be in vain, <br />But blend into the earth of your believing. <br />Though I chose death instead of pointless pain, <br />My love and need for all of you remain.<br /><br />Alii Cat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-killed-myself/
