Suicide Note

I'm the last words
You'll ever say
No matter if it's on a piece of paper
Or a video tape

I'm the last thing you'll ever see
While you're saying goodbye to your friends
And family
When it's too late
They'll find me less than a foot away
From your dead body

I'm the note
That'll witness more tears
Than anyone will ever experience in their life time
The sad thing is I only see that in five minutes
In one single night

I'm the last thing your mother will read
While she's staring at her flesh and blood's lifeless body
This is a cycle that seems to repeat
A person can only go so long with the pain and the guilt and the agony
Of missing someone they loved so deeply
In the end the last thing on their mind
Is if they'll go to Heaven or Hell
Because of suicide

I'm the suicide note
I'm the last one to see you alive 
Or is that really so?
The words you strung together
Showed every emotion you felt in your life
At the same time it seemed like you felt nothing

It didn't matter if you hung yourself from the cieling 
Or blew your brains on the wall
It's almost like
You didn't kill yourself at allct

Hi Kyleigh, WOW, that's one deep and tough write. I can't say I know what really goes through the mind of a suicidal mind. However, I can say, I stopped a few. Some of the emotions they would share are unbearable. thank you so much for this poem, you did well and penned the act itself uncertain... Love LINDA
