Suicidal Tales

I smile to mask
The pain I feel
But even then
The pain is real
I cannot stop
The rain in my eyes
And ever so slowly
My soul quietly dies
I sit upon
Death's open door
And ponder the meaning 
Of life once more
Death hands over
A blade to me
I cut, I bleed,
Still I'm not free
Pills are Death's next
Plan of attack
But someone, somewhere 
Pulls me back
Death then carries me
Up a hill
I jump, but somehow
I'm here still
But I'm determined 
Not to fail
And one day Death 
Will prevail
And we'll be standing 
Face to face 
Forever locked
In tight embrace.
