What if
One more
Said hi
Waved while you
Walked by
What if
One more
Knew your name
Asked you
To join in the game
Would you of still
Felt lost
And that your
Life should be given
To cover the cost

Grr... the spacing is messed up!
I'm glad you invited me to this blog so I can see what you have been writing.
I think is really quite fine...just one word that needs some looking at: "would have still... rather than "would of"...
Are you thinking about those people who take their own lives? We really don't know how meaningful even the smallest acts of connection are to people who are feeling alone...
Love you always,
Mom
One more comment about the word "given" as in "life should be given to cover the cost" ...would like to hear your thoughts about the word choice of "given" in the poem...
taken is the usual verb when it comes to suicide or other harmful act against another... so interestd in hearing your thoughts about this important word.
XO mom
Okay, thanks!
Yea, I wrote this a little while after I found out about Mitch.
Good job of relating the questions one is left with after someone takes their own life.
Here are my thoughts at the moment:
I like your use of rhyme here, and the repeating phrase "What if". What if you stayed with that repeating phrase? Is there another way to word the last five lines using "What if" to begin that stanza or section?
What is "the cost" that he thinks giving his life covers?
