Skat A Poet Couplet

Divorce

STILL  NOT  DEAD     ( no kids allowed 2 read)

This morning I took my med.
taking more than my dose.

I am still here thrown in bed,
Lifeless and nobody knows.

I am still alive I am still not dead
I don't think I succeeded my overdose.

Should have cut my vain instead,
or stuck a whole ounce my nose.

To scared to put a gun to my head,
that would have been very gross.

Couldn't even stand it if I bled,
Stupid, me now I find a hose down my nose.

Still not dead,
Regret  the day you propose.

The day I said "I DO" I dread
The feelings that came, I let nobody know.

Thinking of ways of dying instead,
holding my breath is all I show.

All this started on the day of our  wed,
imagination took over making my  mind blow.

Finding my self here  still not dead,
Who said suicide  is easier than a DIVORCE !!

Dimakatso Mnguni May 24, 2015 at 6:10 AM Skat I can totally relate to this poem - I'm going through a divorce and it is NOT easy! good to know that im not the first and wont be the last to go through it very nice poem! thanks!

Cynthia Buhain-Baello May 23, 2015 at 3:31 AM Very strong and incisive write on an attempted suicide caused by depression over a failed marriage. This reminded me Dorothy Parker's "Resume" "Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live. " A sad view of divorce for some, and a very good write from you.

Anthony Beesley August 5, 2010 at 9:04 AM the sweetest revenge you extract from a jilted lover is to live a good life with absolutely no acknowledgement of the past...as if it never happened that's happiness from a hellbound heart

Vince Suzadail Jr. May 11, 2010 at 8:22 PM Is Marriage or suicide scarier? Glad this was fictional humor. Vince

Billy Thekidster May 4, 2010 at 12:56 PM Great Write Irma Hole, but if the truth be told, I'm just leaving comments on all your work freely. There's just no way I can comment on all of your work if I was to give everyone a read. I'm just leaving you comments randomly, and then maybe you can take the number one slot away from PD. My newest and most favorite arch enemy. Always luvin U, Your Kiddy-Pooo.

Lynette Chachere May 4, 2010 at 10:16 AM great to know it's not a fact, suicide is a serious thing, im out of my mind, there must be a deeper meaning for it.im crazy, suicide is still no good.the day of your wedding you said, i wonder if you were happy even for a moment):i can ony comment so many people today, im sorry i havn't commented back for so long, but i should be back on wed. or thur. and post new poems too.by the way, im 17.and actually love punch actually was my imagination, not a dream!i'll read more poems soon!-Always
