Lullaby For The Suicidal

When the blood trickles down your arm
Don't run, don't fret, it means no harm
Drop the razor, lie on your bed
Soon, yes soon, you'll be dead

Don't cry, no tears, no regrets
You dived through the hole in the safety net
Didn't you mention: "Hell would be best."
No longer a matter you're already dead

Reminisce for a moment the things you'll miss
The friends you've ditched, that girl you kissed
Now think of what made you slit your wrist
You'll see it outweighs the things you'll miss

Death is watching, she's been staring a while
She is pitying you with a smile
She's heard your plea and brought relief
For those of us who weren't made to live

When the blood trickles down your arm
It's silence you'll hear, the waters have calmed
The voices are still, they've departed your head
But soon, yes soon, you'll be dead.




ABOUT THE POET ~
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa but currently live in a small coastal town on the border between Adventure and Nothingness., I have no idea what I am doing with my life but I have found that poetry keeps me sane.
