This is a poem that I want to dedicate to my cousin Jason. He was special to everyone and touched a lot of hearts. He died of suicide at the age of only 14. I just want to say I miss you, Jason - and I will always love you. I am 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Jason 4/27/84-3/6/99

This poem originally was published in Sad Poems - Poems about Death

You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

    I loved your poem. I just had a uncle pass away and this poem explains my feelings on what happened. I wish he was still here. He died at 43 years old, but his life wasnt fair at all. He was paralized at the age of 21 because of a motorcycle accident. So his life had been pretty bad. I loved your poem. Thank You for writing this. =D

    this poem touched me alot and i too lost someone to suicide he was my boyfriend and he had a hard life. I always tried to help him break free of his suicidal ways and he was screwed up for a long time his parents hated him and they never ever once told him they loved him and they said they never wanted him in thier life. He was barely 14 when he died and i miss him. this poem touched me and i love it. - Saydee

    This poem touched me because my aunt just died and she mean't so much to me. I always remembered her having a beautiful smile and always being there. She was one of the nicest persons I've ever known. She fought a good battle before she left this world and she never gave up hope, and thats why she is such an inspiration to me.

    Hello, i just wanted to say this and never told anyone about this. I had a good friend, he was my boyfriend and we dated almost 3 years. Until my family and I moved away from the community thats when he got messed up. He was always happy and making people laugh and looked as if he was never sad, or depressed. He lived his life very well. Always had asmile on his face, and every kid he saw loved him. He made everyone happy about life. This poem reminded me of him after i read it. One day we argued over the phone, i regret for saying what i said to him. At least 5 hours later i tried to call again, but he was in a accident. He was drunk while driving his 4 wheeler, and had been killed instantly. He wasn't that type a person before I left him. I always think of him. This poem really reminds me of him.
  • Sasha
    I just lost a loved on and this really expresses the way i way.
  • Maruia
    sucide is a really sad thing and i dnt understand why pplz do dis to end there life. suicide is a depression and makes other people blame other people and makes more pplz have the idea to do it to themslves to. my mum did it wen i was jst born then mai dad did it the start of this year and also my sister mai cousin and mai aunty. its just so sad! and its a easy way to get out of life but its a hard way for other pplz to forget the person you love has gone! its also a greedy thing to do to! i have to live mai life as a depressed teenager because my family gets blamed for suicide and its jst wrong please dont do it it puts pressure on your family and friends and all the opporunties you have in your life! i still cry maiself to sleep because of this but i am never going to do suicide in my life its stupid

    Hi, I'd just like to take a moment and tell you that this poem is soo good and it really touched my heart. My cousin commited suicide last year in July, only if we knew why. We miss him so much and i never knew how to explain this, but this poem. wow, it just tells it all. I just might frame this and put it up in my room. His name was Jared, he had no reason to leave, at least thats what we thought. Thanks again for taking the time to write this, I bet you went threw the same thing. -13 year old missing her cousin :-(

    i understand how you feel by losing someone, i lost my father to cancer when i was six and this poem seemed to express exactly all the emotions concerning him. It shows you have felt true loss, but you know that if that person was still with you they would be suffereing more than we ever can, just by losing them. thank you for writing it, i will treasure it always.

    I just had 3 close friends die within the same two weeks. my closest friend Joe was killed Monday August 2, 2004. He was in a motorcycle accident and hit a guardrail and then flew head first into a utlity pole. He was the type of person everyone loved and like and hated to like because he was himself and he didn't care. I miss him to death and this poem means alot to me.
  • Renee
    I give you a 10 on your poem. it truly touched my heart because my younger brother who was 14 just committed suicide and really had no reason to leave. I think about it every mintue but it helps when i think that he isnt suffering anymore and that he is my angel and watching over me. Thankyou for writing this poem. It has all the words I wish i could say.
  • amber
    The poem was great. I just recently lost my boyfriend to a drinking and driving accident. He called me that night to do somthing and i wasent home. I could have saved his life. My life hasent been the same ever since. I didnt get to tell him how i felt or how much i truly loved him. He was 20 years old. He still had so much more to give to the world. Just know that you are not the only one out there

    Your poem was beautiful and very mature. It spoke to my heart and touched me. I have lost 7 friends and 4 family members in the last 8 years of my life. The most recent was a VERY close friend, Anthony, who committed suicide. My life was forever changed by him as I'm sure that yours was by your friend. Please allow God to work in your life and hold him near, believe me I've had trouble lately too. Always remember the person you lost can live forever through you. And the sunshine will be back after the storm.
  • Nicole
    This is one of the saddest poems I've read. Sorry to hear the loss of your friend

    I really loved your poem. Thanks so much. I to lost someone. I live in a huge state of confusion. They found my little girls father hanging in a jail cell. He had been arrested for DUI. Alot of inmates said that he was killed by accident. The truthwould be the only thing that I would wish for now. As for now I live with the death report ruling SUICIDE! P. S. Thank you so much for you true words of wisdom and heartfelt grief. I will always think of your words.

    Truely touching poem. I can relate to your pain. I lost my best friend, also to suicide a couple years back. I have so many unanswered questions, but I know someday they will be answered. Just remember, your friend is with you always, as an angel. You're still loved and cared for. Keep your faith in God and Jesus Christ and you will see your friend again, and so will I. Take Care, best of wishes and luck. xoxo.

    Excellent. I lost my brother last year from suicide, and it was the most painful thing in my life, he was young and beautiful. only 18, people say he was a coward. but he had a disease (bipolar disorder) and it wasn't actually his choice. I miss him to death, he was my best friend and he will always be in my heart. I know it wasn't my fault, but sometimes you just say things that hurt somebody else. I did not get to tell him I love you one more time, he did and my last words were: "Go to hell", we had a fight that night. With those words I cry myself to spleep every night, and it hurts so much. now he's watching me and I know he will never leave me alone, someday we will be together again, even if that means I have to do the same. he's my twin, my soul, my best friend. my preciuos brother. I Love You Forever!
  • Jamie
    Your poem was absolutely beautiful! I lost my father September 22, 1994 and my mother February 23, 2001. It is very hard because I am 25 years old with no parents. I realize that they are looking down on me from above but it's just not the same. At least they are both at peace. Thank you for sharing this poem. It some how helps me and eases the pain.
  • Pat
