Suicide
|
Alas! My tears I cannot shed-- my soul, with blood, I fiercely bled;
Steadily flowing drops of red-- no emotion found herein.
So forever I shall remain fully conscious and half insane
Listening to the beating rain demanding to be let in.
Pounding against my windowpane demanding to be let in--
Mirroring my tears within.
With glass-like eyes I lie in bed, though motionless, I'm not quite dead
For there is movement in my head just none where my heart had been.
This destiny is inhumane-- residing in a different plane
Where neither good nor evil reign; where no one can ever win--
A fate, worse then I can explain, where no one can ever win;
A place that lacks Time within.
I lost it all pushing ahead and am confined where people dread.
Where I am is best left unsaid for reward comes not by sin.
My determination was plain; I took the razor, slit my vein,
But the only thing I did gain was the slash across my skin.
I watched the growing crimson stain from the slash across my skin
Bleed out all the warmth within.
I had let myself be misled-- eagerly listening when they said,
"Life does not end with Death, instead, Death harbors new life therein."
I longed for that chance to regain dreams which were prematurely slain.
The world was right, I shall refrain 'Death is a place to begin'.
So let my epitaph contain, "Death is a place to begin...
I found more pain here within."
