Suicide Notice
How do I justify
what I dared to do to you,
how do I beg you to forgive me,
when I, myself can not forget
I know I got off to quickly
to not take a bigger hit,
but when I begged you that last time,
I knew that would be it,
I finally gathered all the little pieces of my life
and glued it back together,
I finally no longer
blew from side to side,
like leafs in breezy weather,
still this haunts me,
how do I sleep
knowing what I did can no longer seep
into the cracks among the floor boards
instead I find myself breathless from the
tripped wires and split cords of my tangled life
is it my fate to die,
at the hands of my own knife
for if it is I shall say these final words,
Amen, for every cut and every gash
I would glady say sorry again
but even I know when the time has come
to let the lines fall and my life unravel
before my eyes
so I can try to mend what was broken by
all the lies
So in this last moment
I shall shed no tears,
just to finally rid you of the pain I left
I will plead your name with every last breath,
