It’s just another Tuesday
It’s just another Tuesday
Just another day
Or so I thought!
In the morning I didn’t take your call and texted you
I’m so busy at work
and that I would ring you later
after work
By lunchtime I got a call
That shocked me to the core
To say that you had hung yourself
And that you were no more
I screamed your name and cried
Letting all my emotions out
But yet finding it impossible
to take in the words that had just come out
It was like being in a nightmare
And I couldn’t get out
Then I was driven to your house
Doctor and Gardaí were there
Paramedics had just finished working on you
and hope was now no more
You’d passed over to the other side
Now on heavens shore
I walked into the sitting room to see you laying there
On the sofa
Your top all torn
From where paramedics had
been working on you
Myself and Vicky put a new top on you
Your dignity now restored
Whilst Vicky said a prayer over you
To our lady the mother of Our Lord
When I was alone with you
Your skin was still a little warm
I saw the red mark on your neck
And swore I’d love you forever more
You lay there so peacefully
No more struggles for you
Only shock and sadness
now left for your family to endure
