Broken: Closest Suicide Attempt

Two broken eyes slumped back in his head, His mind escaped from the war, Numb gently cradled all the man that he was, As he floated on down to the floor, Then, a distant dim light beckoned for him, A light at the end of the hall, He knew he had to go to this light, So he got to his knees and he crawled, And he fell through the light into the bright, He felt love, he felt joy, he felt care, He felt all the things he never had felt, He felt all of those things in the air, "Doctor, he's awake, our new friends returned", Confused, he looked into her eye, And knew, in a moment, his suicide had failed, That he'd crawled out to live and not die.
