Despair

by sadeyes   Sep 28, 2006


Col and hard lying just with in my reach
IT blue steel reflecting a glow
It is my friend, it will do as I say
I can end it now and make the
pain go away

I caress it knowing the power it holds
It feels cold against my tongue
The madness ensues, oh yes, hysteria
I laugh, I know I've beat them all

Then I see them in my mind
STOP, leave me alone
I choke on my own sorrow
It's bitterness gags me

It would be simple
Mt friend calls to me, Hold me
Feel my power it says
"I can take the pain away for you "

Nothing worth wild is ever that easy
I don't feel worth the mess it would make
Or even the bullet it would take
So I decline, his time

    Nothing is worth this.You will be alive again, you will smile and laugh and love again.I speak from experience(my poems are full of despair and melancholia-but writing is a good release for those emotions).Sometimes love finds us when we are not even looking for it.Sometimes it is so hard to accept the realities of a situation.But there is always tomorrow, always hope.Getting through the rough times makes us stronger.Very well written-honest and heartfelt.I feel your pain and sadness.But things do get better.Hang in there.
