| The Noose | ||||||||
| Im bound so tight I cannot breathe, There is no getting out. Theres few things worse than all this pain, I now can only pout. The saline from my eyes have dried, There's no more tears to cry. There's nothing left of me today, I might as well just die. This razor blade, convinent, yes, Oh what about that gun? The bathtub may be easier, Perhaps a little fun. It doesn't matter anymore, There is no time at all. I must escape- relieve the pain, So to my knees, I fall. Low'r my head and hide the shame, I feel it out and In. It chokes and strangles- like a noose, Only I know where I've been. Crawl on all fours to get away, The noose grips tightly still. I must give in or kill myself, I feel so very ill. I opt to take the blade and *slice* Watch myself waste away. This red is all aroud me now, Theres not much left to say. I freed myself from all the pain, That only I did bare. I now do wait, so patiently Into your eyes, I stare. But it isn't really you, It's just your picture there. I close my eyes a final time, Am swallowed by despair. By: Sara A. Jacobson |
