Suicide Note

A note, a cry, a silent plea;
Don’t let it end in tragedy.
Don’t let it be a sad good-bye
That haunts me as cruel seasons fly.

Let all the dreams I shared with you
Be strong enough to help you through
Those painful times of dark despair.
Our hearts still beat as one somewhere.

I’m reaching out, ready to fall
Into the well.  I heard your call
And lie awake, afraid to sleep,
My eyes too full of tears to weep.

A sense of dread, Hope hits the ground
As life becomes a desperate sound
And hours fill with emptiness
That can’t contain my deep distress.

I know that you’re too far away
For me to get to you.  Please stay.
The loss of you would wound my soul.
No power on earth could make it whole.

Glad it was a false alarm. Suicide is so useless to one's soul. ~~

It is. But I have had so many blessings in my life, I could never understand a person coming to that point. I’ve had God reaching out through my darkest times.
