Try Again

by Ms Joanna Dark   Apr 5, 2006


A single tear slides down my cheek,
As I feel myself becoming weak.
The pain is numbing, I'm letting go,
Leaving a place I don't want to know.
Memories dwelling inside my eyes,
Get burned away with hollow lies.
Thoughts of yesterdays that never leave,
Lay hidden behind my long shirt sleeve.
Broken promises crumble to the floor,
Pieces that can't be fixed anymore.
Mirror images of what I used to be,
Remain broken and bloody all around me.
A final letter lays upon my desk,
I feel my heart break inside my chest.
The room spins and fades away,
My breathing stops on this rainy day.

Bright lights shine into my eyes,
Beside me someone softly cries.
My eyes open and look around,
I try to speak but make no sound.
I feel a tear land on my hand,
Confused and lost I don't understand.
I thought I was on the road to death,
I remember taking that final breath.
In my letter I said let me die,
And signed it with a last goodbye.
I really wish for this life to end,
I have no other choice but to try again.
Next time I'll make sure I succeed,
And they won't be there to rescue me.
I'll take the pills and slice the bone,
Drown in a tub and die alone.
