*~*The Final Score*~*

I look at my wrists,
and see the deep slashes there.
I wondered why I did it,
did I really think no one cared?

I try to think,
as blood trickles to the floor.
Was there anything else I wanted,
or is this the final score?

My thoughts tell me,
its over, its all done.
But I tell myself "no",
I will never again have fun.

I start to walk to get something,
and then I happened to fall.
I stand up and realize,
thats me on the ground curled up in a ball.

I guess my thoughts were right,
when they said it over and done.
Cause I just figured out,
I lost and the devil won.

I feel that this was  pretty well-written. Very good visualization, and personally i agree with the last verse: That in suicide, no one really wins except the devil. Oh, and the title was a real attention-getter, too! < !signature-->

-"Death is the servant of the righteous."

Hey ERIN !
I really liked the poem, but the title even more, it made me think of a song that is also my reply on this one and other poems about suicide - "The show must go on!"

   This was very well written.  I loved each verse even though it was about such a dreadful subject.  This was very well expressed.  Exquisite.
