Suicide



            I sit and read the words I write
            each line speaks of my life
            the pain I feel
            the emptiness that is there
            I can almost see
            my lifes blood seeping thru
            each word and line.
            
            Each line is an unhappiness
            expressed with great longing
            the hurt is evident
            and so is the emotion
            so thick is the aura
            it is almost alive and
            tangible upon the paper.
            
            Memories reach out and touch 
            scraping raw across my mind
            I want to scream
            and make it stop
            but yet again I read the word
            the hurt the anguish
            the bitterness.
            
            I reach for something new
            trying to forget this
            but with every move
            I remember and I cry
            for the past
            is still too alive
            and real for me.
            
            I watch from across the room
            seperated from the reality
            the tilt of a head
            the sound of a laugh
            I spiral down hard
            and reach out to grasp
            as I slip back into pain.
            
            Perhaps to say goodbye now
            would ease the ache I feel
            the pain would go
            and no one would mourn long
            I was but a blink of an eye
            and then gone
            Who was she, do you remember?
            
            The tombstone would read
            my name and the dates
            no special saying
            no loving epitat from him
            just a cold hard stone
            and dirt upon wood
            a live ended, without love.
            
            Buried deep with me poems
            I had written
            each one dripping of the passion
            I had felt for you
            Unanswered and unreturned
            empty words ring hollow
            silence echoes across the tomb.
            
            Goodbye my love
            you shall remember me not
            I take with me the memory
            of only my what ifs
            a silence comes upon me
            and peace descends
            one last breath..................................
