A Poem for Your Thought?…Suggestions, Comments, Critism?…?

Question by Anonymous: A poem for your thought?…Suggestions, Comments, Critism?…?
Background of poem: It’s just some random poem I composed. I was just thinking about friends of depressed, pressured people who “abuse” drugs and cut and how the friends really do care and stay by their side.

Anyway, here it is…(It’s a tad cliche/overrused…)

Why

I walked into the room,

My eyes widened

Seeing his limp, pale body

Next to a spilled bottle of pills

And a crisom-colored blade

He did it again,
Why couldn’t he just stop
My heart ached

I ran to his side,
And gripped his hand

Looking him in the eye, I asked
Why

He whispered in a small, raspy voice,
I’m sorry

Then we just stared,
My eyes, watering
I told him to hold on a little longer
I would go and get help

He shaked his head
He smiled at me with a small smile
I returned it with a sad one

But then he closed his eyes, mouthing
Bye

More and more tears rolled down my cheek

(More in additional details)

Aftermath

Why wouldn’t he wake up

I tried to shake him free

I yelled

For help

Nothing but silence answered

Frustrated,
I screamed
I sobbed

Struggling to wake him

I pounded my fists onto the ground,
Shaking my head,
Pouring drops of tears

After a while,
Is when I realized
It was hopeless,
He was gone,
He was really dead

Days pass
Weeks go by,
Yet I still cry
Even though, I knew he wasn’t coming back.

I really like it. ^^ It’s creative, and goes out of the agnst-ridden emo-loving genre of many poems…

It should be “He shook his head,” not shaked.
