Leaving

by Mitch   Apr 14, 2006


The rope is tight
My tolerance is thin
After all this time
I'm giving in
My palms are sweaty
My throat is dry
My eyes are blurry
But I refuse to cry
I tried to live
The best I could
I always failed
Sadly misunderstood
I adjust the rope
I check the knot
My hands are cold
But I feel so hot
The table falls
The rope picks up slack
It hurts at first
My vision fades to black
The pain is gone
Soon as will be I
I'm finally leaving
A tear escapes my eye
