What happened? (RIP Jon)

~~~~~

What happened
to the days
when death only claimed
Grandparents
and people you didn't know?

What happened
to the days
when tears in school hallways
never meant more
than a scrape on the playground
or childish name-calling?

~~~~~

Author notes

Another poem about Jon, the boy who committed suicide on Monday of this week...I actually wrote this one yesterday, even before 'Empty Hallways'...I don't know why I didn't post it until now...

RIP Jon...you will never be forgotten...

    This little poem speaks volumes, very well written. I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my sister to suicide, I know how crushing that kind of grief is.
