Beautiful Suicide
Simple, slow pleasure
Of draining,
Tiny droplets
Of rubies
Splashing to the floor,
The fluid of life
Staining my hands
Simple, wonderful pleasure
Of knowing
That the pain
Will be gone
Forever,
The troubles in my life
Will no longer matter
Simple, peaceful pleasure
Of falling,
Slipping away,
Surrounded
By silent darkness
Still and cold, and yet
Comforted by the emptiness
