Kristin Baker Poet I do not know?

My Suicide Note

There's a reason
The shining of the light has faded dim
A never ending nightmare
Pictures of the end

A morphine face
Eyes plucked out
Vocal chords snipped away
Removed from their once lively place

A finger bent
Always pointing in the same way
It doesn't take much
To take a life this way

To break the existence
Of something already dead
Takes thoughts
From an empty head

The lines drawn crooked
But replace them with spots
A pain of pleasure
To re-tie the knot

The prickles of skin
Hung out to rot on strings
Takes the reason
Of many things

The broken surface
Of the road of life
Has caused more than death
But fear of light

An empty person
An empty life
Wants to make
The emptiness die

Patricia Langston-Moran November 26, 2008 at 8:35 AM Kristan. I sincerely hope this is not your frame of mind...but you say "MY suicide note". My ex-husband took his life last week. I am so angry with him and sorrowful. People need to realize that this irreversable, violent act leaves those behind to suffer immeasurable grief and guilt. Patricia
