Analysis of I remember
I remember being eight years old,
Crying over the most valuable person in my life being ripped away.
I Remember being eleven years old,
Screaming 'fuck you' at your grave,
Filled with anger and despair,
Wanting to visit you in the devil's lair.
I remember being thirteen years old,
Suicidal thoughts consumed my mind,
I wanted to be with you,
Because life was not fair.
I remember being fifteen years old,
My first serious suicide attempt,
Wanting to visit you,
Even if it was in the devil's lair.
I remember being seventeen years old,
Being sectioned in hospital,
For your death left a hole in my heart,
For I remember.
