Hardest Goodbyes
We stand unfaltering in face of the gaze,
My soul wilts in lieu of those final days,
You flood my mind in taunting ease
Thus breath leaves my body in floating breeze.
Final tears shed in fold with bottled memoir
Of a stifled goodbye in reminisce of the scar.
To relay a lifetime of love and life,
Of a shattered heart and everlasting strife,
Of laughter that rung in ongoing song,
The words that carried in nights prolonged.
A life of merry and youthful joy
The fall of tears in a heft to destroy.
To bring the chapter of life to an end,
Wounds left gushing shall never mend.
For a soul left yearning will linger in shadow,
Marking eternal rest in ethereal sorrow.
Deep Feeler
My mind, a scatter, a myriad of thought,
A heart that quakes with pain and fraught
My lips pretermit the shadow of smile
And soul hath morphed to a nature so vile.
To become a distortion of my own past,
My mask askew plumbs reactions aghast,
Thus retorsion of isolation probes no doubt
Whilst laws of morale I proceed to flout.
I pray my thoughts may find their rest
Lest my life of happiness divest.
Suicide Note
My life, though short, has filled with pain
Inflicted upon I, and I be a bane
For this I’ve decided, this life I’ll flee
Perhaps the next may treat me glee.
‘Tis selfish I am painfully aware
Grief shall rain upon those who care,
But those who don’t will suffer most,
Memories of hurt shall morph to ghost.
Ink shall tattoo my final thoughts,
An image of mine own distraught.
My story, the myriad of reasons why
I have solemnly chosen for myself to die.
I’ll bid adieu in manners discreet,
For I cannot openly admit defeat;
Quietly and rapidly walk away
I’ve dug my grave, ‘Tis time to lay.
