Contemplating Suicide

by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life   Aug 20, 2009


Last night I slept with tears in my eyes.
I dreamed of being alright,
No worries touched my heart,
No sorrow cut my soul.
Before this I cried,
Slowly I released my true self.
Do they know I'm faking when I walk beside them?
I keep everything inside
For fear to bother anyone.

Last night I felt alive
After I carved my new story.
No fear on my side
No pain to fight any longer
My remedy to redemption
Would be a gun
Can't they see the pain twisting in my heart?
It aches in every bone
When I cry these tears.

Silence I keep to not disturb others
The melody of my spirit evaporates
Leaving a tuneless whistle.
Maybe it's the wind
Or the rain drops that freeze my thoughts.
Not good enough for them or this world.
Give me that gun
I will silence the faint sound that is my heart beat.

    Heart wrenching. Intense and painful, couldn't take my eyes away from the words, each line flowed so well, expressing the pain and longing that the poem is about, beautiful.
