Suicidal Phone Call

by Momentary Relapse   Oct 7, 2005


I.
I picked up the phone and heard you
Screaming, saying never call again
What did I do now or before?
Did I hurt you from within?

I'm dazed and emotionally hurt
Why and how did I do this?
I find myself on the bridge
Without you this world I won't miss

Close my eyes and take the plunge
Shock of water in my eyes
Sinking to the bottom of despair
Now wait for my slow demise

No longer breathing anymore
The air does not fill my lungs
Blackness eats my vision away
And now I know it is finally done

II.
She sighed turning on the TV
The news poured over her ears
She listened her heart pounding faster
The report brought her to tears

"A young man was found by the-Bridge
Apparently he jumped in attempted suicide
His identity is unknown at this time"
Her eyes closed but she couldn't hide

Fleeing her home she drove away
Wishing she could understand why
Thoughts swirling wildly in her grief
Wondering if this was all a lie

III.
I wake head painful to move
Agony relentlessly shearing me
I see you anxiously staring
A dim flicker comes to memory

You smiled in visible relief
My confusion blinds my eyes
I was sure you hate me
I was sure me you despise

From you I learn it all
That you had yelled at another
That you still love me
My suicide I didn't have to suffer

IV.
She picked up the ringing phone
Curious she heard a female voice
Then anger and fear entered her
She saw she had no choice

V.
I watch the news still in pain
Then heard a report I fear
"Another body was found at the-Bridge
Apparently where another was near"

    Great poem, a strong message and strong emotions portrayed. My only suggestion, would be to separate the different points of view, just to add a bit more clarity, but that's just me nitpicking...excellent poem.

    Thanks very much for your comment on the Misjudged. If I can ask a favour, I'm posting a poem within the next few days called "the Spectre", and, well, I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism on it. Thanks again, and keep writing!
