You Didn't Talk
You didn’t talk or give me a chance
You left without a second glance
You didn’t trust or talk to me
To let me know what I couldn’t see
But that bridge has already burned
And there’s nothing I have learned
I look at the end of the tunnel for light
But nothing’s there, out of sight
I don’t know what my future will be
I keep looking, but cannot see
I don’t know what I’m here for
All I know is that I miss you more and more
My life has now come to a halt
You did this. It’s your fault
Did you stop to think about me?
Or just yourself and how you couldn’t be
Do you know what my future holds?
What I will do when I get old?
It’s hard not to be angry
But I miss you and me
Amended February 2020 (18 months on ….)
I will somehow get through
A life without you
I really am not angry
But I really, really miss you and me
I still wish you had said something
And I still feel nothing
I just want you near
And future is the thing I still fear
You really didn’t use your voice
But I know you had no choice
No choice and you had to go away
And felt you couldn’t stay
I still don’t know how I feel
But what I feel is real
I know you felt you had to go
And I still don’t know …………
I will always love you and you are mine
But you left me behind
And you left me alone
And the rest is yet unwritten …. ;
World Suicide Prevention Day
World Suicide Pevention Day takes place on 10 September 2020. Many of us will be affected by suicide in some way during our lives. Every life lost to suicide is someone’s partner, parent, child, friend or colleague. Suicide prevention is everyone’s business. Suicide is preventable and we can all play our part in making a difference.
World Suicide Prevention Day provides the opportunity for people across the globe to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention. The theme again this year is ‘Working together to prevent suicide’ and we have arranged a virtual event and resources to share related experience, knowledge and practice within Nottinghamshire Healthcare.
There will be focus on:
- Suicide prevention is everyone’s business.
- Nottinghamshire Healthcare’s Towards Zero Suicide strategy and how we can work together, and with our community partners, to prevent suicide
- Self-care, wellbeing and making a safety plan
- Making connections and reaching out to others
To find out more about our Towards Zero Suicide ambition or any aspect of our suicide prevention work, contact SuicidePrevention@nottshc.nhs.uk
In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, we are sharing a number of poems that people have written about how suicide has affected their lives. Thank you to everyone for sharing their personal experience in this way.
