Leaving A Letter...

by TwistedAngel xx   Jan 20, 2008


Rip the paper out the book
grab a pen and take a look
make sure no one sees me now
I must write this, must write somehow

start with a greeting to all who are near
writing and trying not to shed any tears
writing of memories hidden deep inside
telling them just why I always wanted to hide

finishing with goodbyes and a tender loving kiss
to all those near and dear I will sorely miss
fold it and write on the front, "to anyone who cares"
leave it there, I walk away. We'll see just who dares

grabbing the rope, i start hanging it high
since no one is here, I can finally cry
tie it in a knot, check it once, check it twice
everyone thinks I always happy, super nice

slipping my head in, feet tiptoe on the chair
just one kick and I'll no longer be there
all it will take it just one push, no more
I am gone now, waiting behind that white door

my lifeless body swings this way and that
chair has fallen over, right next to the cat
some people are coming, I can hear them right now
door slowly opens, they begin to all howl

they take my body and put it away
they grab the letter and read it and say
"Why did she do it? Why did she die?"
that is something that I only know why

they cry as my body is buried deep down
they turn to each other, they all start to frown
now I am gone, I am no longer there
that is just something they'll have to bear

So I am sorry, so sorry, that it all came to this
and now my presence you'll gravely miss
but now I am somewhere where I can be free
somewhere where I can be me, happily.

    I really like this poem but toward the end it seemed to slow down and the flow wasn't as good as it was in the beginning, but it could just be me. very nice poem.
