i see the bottle and i see the blood
your on the floor, its all said and done
you made your choise, did you have your fun?

tossing and turning grom the aches and pain
but your hand, that bottle remains
fall asleep, yes, just escape
you figure you'll be dead soon anyways
so who cares?

ill tell you what, its me that cares
and i know this burden is hard to bare
but dont do this just to numb the pain
its not your fault, its not your blame
your not the one who made this stain

so step away from that narrow ledge
just give me the bottle........
and go to bed

Wow.. man.. you are a very talented writer.. to me.. I love this.. the end was amazing. What I like about poetry is when you read it and then after words you take a big sigh and it's like a million things hit you at once.. and you're not even sure how you feel.. that's what this was.. great job

I also liked the ending but you need to clarify why is there blood, and how did they get to the ledge, i thought they are lying on the floor

this is a figurative poem with ledges and stuff obviously, i thought people would figure that out, but the blood is from cutting and stuff

THank you. I m stupid rite now, just got bac from soccer and, im soo tired and sic from tests and exams coming up again. and my soccer team made up today of 5 seventh graders, 1 tenth grader , and one 9th grader hoo is 12 and she is really short and just learning how to play , we played brothers of teammates and a bunch of highschoolers, from our school. I am so sore.

It could use more clarification though, like the poem needs it.
