I could take a knife
And slit my open wrists
Then slowly watch my wasted life
Drip down my tight clenched fists
Or perhaps a loaded gun
A bullet in my head
Would end the life I have begun
To leave me cold and dead
Maybe an overdose
Of some deadly drug or pill
But it might leave me comatose
And would not surely kill
I could set the house ablaze
And perish in the fire
To end my future days
In a funeral pyre
May be a rope to hang myself
And swing broken from a tree
Leaving behind lost wealth
And keep my own for me
Perhaps a jump from someplace high
Would finsh me once and for all
To leap into an empty sky
To float and then to fall
Or wade into the ocean
And let it steal my last breath
Like tides of despaired emotion
That was all that I had left
Or perhaps deprivation
Of anything to drink or eat
And let thirst and starvation
Slowly cease my heartbeat
Maybe an end quite violent
Would be the best way for me
And spend my last day in a current
Of harsh electricity
But there's always the easiest and worst of ways
I could fall in love again
And spend the rest of my dying days
In bitterness and pain.

so often do people think of suicide, but the way you express it is in such detail that it truly opens my eyes about the whole thing. i'm sure everyone has joked about taking their own life before, and never really thought of it like this. i truly think this piece of work is a real view of the suicidal's mind. and i hope, for the sake of losing a wonderful poet on this forum, this is not describing what is running through your mind.

I know what it's like to want to die, and end all feelings, because of a broken heart. Falling in love once more seems like an impossibility, not becuase I am attached to him still, but becuase I am too afraid of getting hurt. But ending it all doesn't just end all your pain, it creates more for others. I swore to myself never to hurt someone as much as I have been hurt in my life and to end it with the slice of a knife would be more harmful then good. Along with silver, I hope that with our words, and the knowledge that every member is here to listen to your pain and help you through it, that you will be able to make it..
