It started with one sentence
"You would be better off gone."
It continued when people joined in
"Why don't you leave us alone."
It ended when he had enough
-Silence-

But for those who loved him
It began with questions
"Why would he do this to himself?"
It continued when more people began to ask
"What could we have done to make him hurt less?"
It ends when we begin to never start
