I once new a boy who was all teeth all hard and mad and ongoing when I met home we were both wearing blue hospital gowns he had a scar running from the bottom of his rust to his elbow crease I had black charcoal lining my stomach and prescription pain killers in my veins he says he was born with teeth that he came into. This world with fist held high saying this is who I am front you forget I am the reason hurricanes are named after people the first thing he did the day we released from the psych ward was smoke a cigarette as hard as he could make himself hold on to me as if I was the last thing holding him up when I wanted so much to be doing the exact same thing the last time he slept over I realized he even looks tired in his sleep this boy all wind angry and quiet and powerful he never stopped fighting he has mental illness lined up like pebbles in his palm but he fell asleep with me his head a gentle weight on my chest when he woke up surrounded by me and my soft he said that in that moment he didn't feel like he needed to fight so hard any more a few weeks past and I could see him breaking apart crumbling through my fingers he called me most days and described all the parts of himself that were hurting how his dad hit him again how he found his mothers crackpipe in her sock drawer how he wanted to tear himself apart break every bone against a cement wall how he wanted this to be over he told everything he had been quiet about so I made him promise if he stayed alive so would I if he died then I would follow right behind him he said I'm the wind I'm just blowing through but I'll stay as long as I can and hold your chin in my palm another month past and he became something too close to gone his bed became locked cell it became the ribcage to his bloody and atrophed heart so I became clean blood brought him food and medication and one night he called me over that's when I learned to stitch a wound with sewing needle and embroidery thread he used to say there was no hero in his scars and I would tell him damn fucking right there was his body was a battlefeild he broke himself over his own knee every day and always came back for more he fought ripping tooth and nail every hour of the day and I still don't know if I was saying that only to him or also to myself I once knew a boy all quiet and hurt soft like the shell of a ladybug he was named after a hurricane and he fought from the moment he came into this world he was the wind just bloeing through and one day in the summer he stopped fighting

"i made him promise that if he stayed alive then so would i, and if he died then i would follow right behind him." my friend and i have this same promise yet it's still so shocking to hear it from someone else.

Same... it is surprisingly reassuring to see at least 3 other people with my “pact”

Me and my ex have the same promise as well...even after we broke up we stayed close friends and promised each other that if one of us dies we all die. It’s sort of an inside joke, now and again we’ll text each other “we will all go together” as a reminder of the promise.

Fuck, dude. I'm glad you broke your promise to him, that you'd follow him if he died. I'm glad you decided to stay

This poem... I know good poetry affects me emotionally, but never has a poem had such an impact on me... This is beautiful. So full of emotion, so powerful, yet so vulnerable and soft, words can describe the way this makes me feel, but I've no idea how to arrange them, so I think I'll just say that they can't.

I love when poetry inspired poetry that nobody notices When the comments have small poems that were never meant to be written And people trying to stay strong all fighting together

Dont make people promise not to die by suicide. We go through enough guilt.
