The leaves have lost their greeeness,tenderness and vitality as they wither away, death stained on the small palms of their flesh.
   They fall softly,slowly,whistfully much like the tears that stain my face,quick but deadly.
   They fall as the impact is smashed by the wind as she cradles them to their death,as they release deadly colours from their inner soul.
   This bouquet of gloom on the coldness are eternal fragments of me left from happiness,he took his own life without goodbye or sorry, only leaving a kiss of emptiness as i drown in his scars.
   My tears ripple across the dead leaves, not all is lost i have opened my doors to Loneliness and Sadness as they have embraced me from my own pain.
   Loneliness and Sadness play in the moonlight,innocent and naive to the deed that shall fall upon them, they watch in horror as the waves draw me to their immortal soul.I follow shedding tears of blood on the innocent waters.
   The hideous sun and my long,lost happiness spread through the land,but i, i am washed on to the shore, my raven hair flaming in the blueness, my skin pale,white as the moonlight. My eyes stained.........
                again the leaves fall into my tears.

So sad and so dark. You paint a vivid picture with your words. I really like your work and I look forward to more.

I personally have never felt more helpless in anything in life than the suicide of a friend.  You've captured this well.  You have my every sympathy and empathy.

Suicide one of life's greater tragedies, they think only of themselves and yet they in the process mess up so many other's lives.  I too have lost a neighbour to suicide.  It is so hard to comprehend, you even blame yourself a little not seeing it, not being there for them.  They are at peace now.  You too will find your peace.  ((HUGS))  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.
