When You Scream My Name

Four pills line the counter, cold and pasty blue
Something pushed you, something scared you

Life handed you a shovel, told you to dig deep
With all your pills then lay yourself down to sleep

I was screaming for you, I was crying for you
If I wake up in the morning and don’t know what to do..

Fear makes me, am I running out of options 
Moving too fast forward, head on collisions

They strapped me in a jacket, you’ve broken me
Who would have thought this is the taste of insanity?

Did they taste good on the way down I wonder?
As the anesthetics took you under?

Smile? ~ "Yes," suicide is a very sad sorrow within this world We live; many have regretfully tasted its amissful blades but, mercy shall find "Their Beautiful Souls" someday &, "Joy," shall reign within a once darkened place so, pass the word & hold tight unto, "The Paradise of Dreams, Hope, 'Love & Light!!!'" ~ Again, "My Love to 'You Always Dear, Precious Madison Thomer,' Forever," John!:) ~
