Final goodbyes

Contributed by lostinmyself on Monday, 22nd November 2004 @ 12:47:06 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



I walked to the edge of the cliff this morning,
Just to scream to the wind, a final goodbye,
And as the wind took my hair, I got lost in dreaming,
And I knew if I jumped, there would be no more lies...
(There would be nothing to lose if I died...)

And the thought almost swirled within me,
A breath of freedom from lifes dreary ways,
And maybe if I jumped I wouldn't fall...but I would fly away.
I'd be able to get away from this mess within me,
Watching from afar, but feeling no pain.
And maybe it would be better for all, if I could drift away...

And there would be nothing left to mourn for,
No pain in my glazed over eyes,
As my body lay broken, below a frozen heaven,
With no more breath left to cry,
No more voice to utter sad goodbyes.
(No more people could leave my side)

This would be my final goodbye..

And I just wanted someone to save me...
But maybe it's too late to be saved....

But standing upon the cliff top,
I knew I couldn't throw my life away.

Not today...


(So...for now I'll just walk away....)
(And maybe tomorrow I can live my life again)
(I hope...)

"awsome" write dude, in every sense of the word.
it's amazing.
I don't know if it's just me and you or more or even everyone but I think everyone feels this sometime.
and if not, they should, so they can learn to appertiate life that much more.
you seem like a good person(I'd call ya a kid but I don't want you to be older than me, lol)
keep it up man
try to love to live... and live to love

peace man,
Jared

You know, I see this as a step forward, really.
The fact that you walked away from the cliff. I don't know. I'm not Rita, so I'm not expert, but I very much feel you are moving toward something. People who give up don't struggle the way you have and continue to do. I feel very strongly that you are headed toward positive things, but, well, we all spend some time in the trench. Yup, that's easier to say once you're out, but I spent nearly 5 years there, and I'm not just spouting rubbish. Praying for you, friend.
Your poetry continues to improve in depth and form. Watch you contractions.
Love,
Stitch

There is a lot of beauty to this piece. A lot of Life, even though it is heavy with sadness. I hope times will turn soon, and give your hopes what they deserve.

Blessings.

*hugs you*
Such a beautiful poem, even with its content.
I felt like i was stood in your place on the cliff.
This is so sad and im incredible glad you did walk away.
*hugs you tighter*
This poem is definitely a step forward,
Though it may feel like a step backwards in the future.
You seem like a strong person,
You will get through this,
*hugs you again*

Take care Phil.

Love
Gen xx

this was another brilliant piece, but for some reason the ending left me dissatisfied. as i tell a lot of people around here, an ending can make a masterpiece or ruin one.
