Thank you?? My heart is warmed With all the caring The generic letters and All the staring My heart is heavy With sadness and despair My lungs are clawing as they grasp for air I wish for love, but does any one care? I may be young I may be an old haunted soul I have a friend As lonely as I, death our only goal Hanging in the distance Or hanging by a rope We made a pact The tiniest of suicidal hopes I shouted in silence Is anyone there? Please, listen, listen to my total disrepair My ears like an owls, yet no voices to share Faint hopes Doubtless dreams Suicidal screams My only choice to tie neck to rope I tossed a poem out to the sea Like a lifejacket, I just wanted to see No one saw, and no one cared Generic letters drowning, in the sea of despair Poetry was my last breath of fresh air

Hi Arthur, Very sad poem, it touched my heart. Remember there is God that holds you, and loves you. Just think He brought you here and would never let you go. :) Tahira

Hi Arthur, First of all I must say your title alone compelled me to read your piece. As I started to read I was met by a profound darkness and sadness. Whether this is true or fiction it is written well. I also would like to say I care and you are still to this day one of my Soup Heroes: -) Alexis

my goodness, this is a bit morbid and I sure hope it has no bits of truth in it for you personally. But what incredible images. I especially liked the line about ears like owls. You sometimes come up with such spiffy images. I would never think of that! WEll, I wish I had more time here tonight but I need to get off pronto!! Later, gator!!

I thought a rope in the shed would do nicely. At the time my thinking was "If I was not here, he could come back and they would all live happily ever after." The amount of living and loving I have done since then Arthur..... Life is short enough without making it shorter.

I sincerely hope this is a fictional write my friend. You drew us into the darkness, I hope you will release us by answering my question because many of us care.

This was sort of a hybrid of thoughts, so a mix of fiction and non fiction! Thanks Richard!

Your poems on this subject are dark and sad but so eloquently penned ... That final stanza really brought tears to my eyes - I should mail you about these suicide poems but you write on the subject often so your soup mail box would be bulging - making this a fave :-) hugs Jan xx

If you wanted to deliver sadness dark enough to eclipse any upbeat mood the reader might be in, you succeeded! Ha - kinda. This write is laced with the weight of despair, while the color of hope fades more black with each line. Good job here, Arthur. For darkness, it is good darkness. My heart, she shivers ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay, writing is a way, in a way to take away the darkness.
