SUICIDE SPIRAL or THE TALE OFUNDERSTANDING

Contributed by roleby on Thursday, 28th February 2008 @ 08:29:31 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

i use to see light all around me

life was happy and free

not a care for any but me

then slowly it started

shadows that lurk climbed there way into my place of mirth

one dark spark after another

traced its way into my life

until the light i held became my twilight

still there was hope and happiness too

as long as the light though faded did stay

it happened again, the darkness crept

stealing what light that had remained

now it was dark i could not see

all i want was to go to sleep

and maybe in dreams find that place where life and laughter still did kiss

but even in dreams i found no peace

my soul was screaming for its last release

my hope was gone i could not think

is this as far as one could sink

i found my way to take the bottle

clenched in my fist was the simple solution

to all i had found to be in ruin

the pop of the cap was what summoned the reaper

dim in my vision i could not reason

what was left to see tomarrow

icy hands i felt thier grip

as my my heart did slow to a soft thumping drip

and in that moment before my rest

i found the thing that broke my jest

a spark of light so dim it shone

how was i suppose to know

please dear god dont let me go

oh dear god i did not know

it seemed so bleak the place i was in

i could not see the hope with in

my eyes shut tight and hear my breath slow

the reaper is telling me its time to go

the spark i found was close enough

i reached for it though inky back junk

the reaper was pulling but i did not go

i watched him smile as he began to slow

the spark had grown and now i could see

the face of my son watching me

my heart began to race like a bird taking flight

death would not find me on this awful night

with a flutter and a heave

i returned my bottle onto the floor

and took a slow breath and then a couple more

i had found my light my one saving grace

never again could i visit this place

my eyes were blurred but i could finally see

hope is not given as presents might be

its earned through trouble and strife that others cant see

so fight when you can to make darkness receed

and remember the the moment when you succeed
