My hand is reaching
I feel the gun
In this world I feel shunned
I grab it now
And tell you how
I am dead here
Because these tears
Didn’t stop flowing
I was overfilling
With hate and regret
I could forgive, but not forget
I felt unloved
I could not be saved
I just couldn’t take it
I couldn’t live like this
Unloved and out in the cold
It was starting to get old
I was ready
My hand was steady
Believe it or not
As it was the gun I got
That I slipped into
My hand as I thought of you
All that were my “friends”
All you who left me to the end
Didn’t care that I said goodbye
Didn’t think that I would die
But look: I did
Don’t forgive
Me, for I was the one
That killed myself with the gun

Gun in Hand

Contributed by sprinter27 on Sunday, 5th June 2005 @ 08:43:01 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide

As I sit here wondering
My hand is reaching
I feel the gun
In this world I feel shunned
I grab it now
And tell you how
I am dead here
Because these tears
Didn’t stop flowing
I was overfilling
With hate and regret
I could forgive, but not forget
I felt unloved
I could not be saved
I just couldn’t take it
I couldn’t live like this
Unloved and out in the cold
It was starting to get old
I was ready
My hand was steady
Believe it or not
As it was the gun I got
That I slipped into
My hand as I thought of you
All that were my “friends”
All you who left me to the end
Didn’t care that I said goodbye
Didn’t think that I would die
But look: I did
Don’t forgive
Me, for I was the one
That killed myself with the gun

That is dark and depressing to read, I suppose for a suicide poem, * which I don't read much * it is pretty good, you really was able to take me into the poem and make the picture seem real, ( TOO REAL ) hope you are ok?

well another emotional poem sprints
but i must say i did not enjoy the lines

All that were my “friends”
All you who left me to the end
Didn’t care that I said goodbye

because i pray that you dont actualy think that I would not care or that you don't think i would ever leave you alone in this world. I am always here wether you use me or not and wether you like it or not you are stuck with me.
