cycle of suicide

if she dies, 

he wouldn't have a reason to live

so he'd jump in front of a train

and make his best friend take a few fifty pills. 

the best friend's brother would get depressed

and drink himself to death. 

his girlfriend wouldn't eat and soon became bones 6 feet deep. 

then the girl in her philosophy class, seeing the way everyone talked about her death, 

would take a blade to her forearm. 

but the girl doesn't die. 

no, she doesn't die. 

but the others do. 

they still take their own lives. 

why?
