November Birthdays

Poem

Sad eyes closing, their final task

If tonight, this darkest night

My very last

Escape, oh captive broken girl

Flee the body, aching soul

Seek peace in darkness

It is all I ask

Young enough

I longed to hope

Blistered palms

No more rope

Ashamed, what am I doing

My final thoughts

Ink and paper

Scattered envelopes

My god, why me?

Why have I killed you?

Its what I had to do

Think not about the others

You have nothing left to give

Lay down and breathe

Sweet final breaths

Crying child

When did you lose

The final hope to live?
