Suicide

I wrote a number of suicidal poems a couple years ago when I was having a hard time, and it's been difficult for me to decide which ones to share, and which not to. These are the least frightening...




Too Alone
I'm too alone to care.
I used to wish for happiness,
But now that wish is rare.
I used to wish to stop the coldness,
But now I'm too alone to care.
I sit in my lonely room
And debate if it's too soon
For life to end-
For all the pain to be dead.
A cold knife in my hand
And the never-ending tears
Only convinces me I can-
Where are my fears?
Please come rescue me before I fall.
Don't you see?
My life is nothing at all?
I've lost too much,
And gained too less..
I must lay down to rest.
Is that your hand reaching out?
I'm sorry- I can't touch.
The pain would end,
My bleeding heart would mend-
Where it stops?
There's no end.


Darkness
I am darkness.
Fear is my addiction,
Night is my companion.
The only light I see
Are the few moments of happiness
You shine on me.
My obsession lies in mirrors,
While pain is my fear.
Unknown mysteries haunt my thoughts,
And misery is the untiable knot
That forms within my heart.
I seek the truth,
But believe in shadows.
A heart beating slightly faster
Gives that chilling sensation of cold
That keeps me searching- wanting more.
As I wait in the darkness
For that distant door.


To Fly
I stand at the top of a tower,
Slowly nearing the edge.
Sadness lengthens the hours
Of lonliness in my head.
Tears wash over my soul
As I stand in complete silence.
I feel ancient and old-
Nothing seems to make sense.
A sorrow I don't understand
And a grief I can't grasp-
I refuse to believe a lesser of a man
Is the source of this emotional clasp-
I feel as if I ooze pain,
And my sensitivity reaches a dangerous high...
I'm driven insane,
As I spead my wings to fly.
I will shatter at any moment-
My sour love will spill on everyone.
Then you can finally feel it,
And know why I run...
Why I'm flying through the air,
Cracking the first laugh in weeks.
And when you find me beautiful, white, and fair,
You'll realize you were the one who was weak.


Abandoned
Who are you?
I don't recognize you anymore.
You used to have that spark in your eyes,
Now you grumble,"what's this life for?"
You're lacking something-
It could be that infectious smile,
That I haven't seen in awhile...
Or maybe it's that beautiful soul,
That I was so privleged to know...
But you're not who you used to be,
And that makes me feel so lost and uneasy.
How could you change on me?
You left me in the cold,
And now I'm abandoned,
Without anyone to hold.
I want you back.
Where did you go?
This has really hurt me-
I just wanted to let you know...
Without the real you I'm lost,
And so I put the gun to my head.
I look at you and you're not really there,
So I might as well be dead.

Two Haikus
The bloody pool
Sends dancing streams down her arms
Splashing her toes.

Cup of poison
Clasped in small nervous hands
Seals my fate.

Ocean of Lies
I'm trapped in an ocean of lies
And you need not apply
You cut at my veins
Trying to release the pain
My blood trickles down my arm
The only cure for you is harm
I want you out of my body
Because you're nobody
My thoughts are scrambled inside
All I want to do is hide
I can't stand to see you on your own
Because you used to be my home
I want to go away
You have nothing left to say
The world is infinitely black
There's nothing left to give back
I want to sleep forever
Because you said never
I'm afraid to feel
I can't tell what's real
No one can help me
I need to leave
All those hours in your bed
Didn't mean a thing inside your head
You knew I was easily lead
I was already dead
I can't trust anymore
I can't love anymore
I can't exist here with you
When there's nothing left of me and you
You drained all my hope
Then left me alone to cope
We were everything
Now we're nothing
I'm drowning in an ocean of lies
And now I'm going to die


  • Two
    I've only loved two men in my entire life
    And both of them broke my heart in two
    How am I supposed to have any hope left
    When I always gain less than I lose
    Never again
    I always say
    No more pain
    I always pray
    I hate to be manipulated
    Yet somehow I consent
    I'm so bitter and paranoid from all these heartbreaks
    You'd really wonder where my common sense went
    I wish for someone to love me
    Then someone makes me truly believe they do
    I sink in so deep
    Becoming his perfect fool
    I should be used to this pain
    It shouldn't torment me so violently anymore
    Why haven't I learned my lesson
    And realized love's not worth shit anymore
    They've robbed me of my identity
    All I do in my spare time is cry
    What's left for me now
    I can't get past this grief no matter how hard I try
    I trusted him so blindly
    The most I've ever trusted a soul
    I want to end this suffering so much
    I'm so empty and cold
    Most of my energy is fueled by hate now
    There is no one left to trust
    Every single guy has a hidden agenda
    None of them are worth any of the fuss
    I've tried to warn my friends
    They say,"he'd never hurt me- he's too nice"
    When things feel too good to be true they usually are
    I should listen to my own advice
    I gave him everything I could
    Now I wallow in his anything
    I didn't believe this could happen again
    But he packed up all our baggage and he left me nothing
    I've only loved two men my entire life
    And both of them broke my heart in two
    He's gone forever and he can't wipe away these tears
    This pain he left me has permanently tightened the noose


  • Melancholy
    If I were invincible
    I would know no fear
    Yet unfortunately I'm plagued
    When I look into the mirror
    Like a scene in slow motion
    I watch myself fall away
    I drink up all the lies
    Never believing what they say
    One of these evenings
    They will not forgive me
    And everything I am
    Will abandon me
