Last ecstasy

by TheMask   Aug 12, 2015


One quick slit
With a blade
A blade once thrown away
Something that's shouldn't be done
But has been

It's been awhile since the blade swung down
A couple of years since the last ecstasy
Since the last time the rush of living has shown up
The red river flows down
Drip...drip...drip
The essence of life empties

Slowly the pain fades
Slowly the feelings leave
Slowly everything goes black
Slowly life packs

Packs it's things
From the house it was once sheltered in
Packing up its things and walking out the door
So the next resident can move in

No one here to stop it
No one to dam the river
No one to stop the swing of the blade
No one to keep life here

Drip..drip...drip..
Slowly it all comes to the end
Life comes to say it's last goodbye
Closing the door for good
Never to see the light of day again
Only to disappear for good

    Cutting and suicide are separated by a fine line....
    However you managed to express the general feelings people get when they do both at the same time.
    Keep writing.
