Eternal Peace

My wrists
still so sore,
my blood-stained pillow
falling on the floor,
I wanted a drink
I couldn't reach the taps
I didn't want water
so I used my knife
and I hacked.
Where's my glass
I hate it when people laugh,
the sound hurts my head
I can't think,
I want to have
peace at last.
My tongue snakes
to my arm,
smear the taste-buds
I've never felt so calm.
I feel no pain
there is no pain,
nothing's left
nothing remains.
Still I'm thirsty
I need some more...
but now I'm sleepy
so sleepy,
as I drift
my mind still raw,
my eyes still numb,
as I feel
my eternal peace come.

intense!

I have a few about suicide, I'll dig them out soon and share them with you...lots of emotion here, very emotional!

Thanks, you dig! ☺

Even if we don't go so far as doing it, more people than you realise have suicidal thoughts, unfortunately-thank you for your comment Ron, I really do appreciate it :) ♥

BAH-BUMP

“Bah-Bump”
Ron Kinard © 2003

bah-bump
each heart beat
another drop of blood
running down my wrist
falling to the ground

bah-bump
each drop that falls
a memory comes clear
shaken emotionally
lying on the ground

bah-bump
each memory stirred
another one remains
some things within this world
nothing will change

bah-bump
stained sidewalk
open wound
feeling dizzy
begin to swoon

bah-bump
another heartbeat
fading fast
wondering how long
this will last

bah-bump
each heart beat
another drop of blood
dripping off my elbow
falling to the ground

bah-bump
lights beginning to dim
body feeling cold
as each drop of blood
splashes to the ground

bah-bump
falling through the darkness
things begin to spin
gates of Hell within my site
lying in the ground

(I'll dig out some more for ya, this is just the tip of the ice berg)

Deathly

I like it a lot, the bah-bumps are really chilling at the start of each verse...like death saying it's your turn.
And I hope the ice berg is as big as the one that sunk the Titanic! :) ♥

i have no words... it completely blew me away...

Thank you

Your words mean a lot to me, thank you :) ♥

thank you...

...so, do you think I should post it in open forum>?
