Suicide

This is a sorrowful fiction.

Nobody cares whether he lives or dies,

So he loses his reasons for living

The girl he loves doesn’t love him

She turned down his advances

No woman has ever returned his love

He feels as if he doesn’t fit in with others

And sadness is his only friend

He’s ignorant of the sting of death,

But he doesn’t want to continue living this way

Life without love means nothing to him,

So today he’s going to kill himself

He’s standing on the edge of the roof of a skyscraper

A gusty wind is blowing from the north

He’s trembling, and his heart is beating fast

Gravity will quickly take him to the grave

And his sorrow will no longer exist

He doesn’t have anyone to tell goodbye,

So he won’t leave a suicide note

Everyone has turned their backs on him

He’s ready to jump to his death,

But he looks across the roof and sees a woman

She’s sitting on the edge of the roof

He had never seen such a weeping beauty

She writes something on a piece of paper

Then she puts the paper in her bag

He knows that she’s about to commit suicide

She gets up to jump off the roof,

Not knowing that someone else is there.

She spreads her arms as an eagle spreads its wings,

And then she closes her eyes

He calls out to her concernedly

She looks around with hope in her eyes

And he begins to walk towards her

She changes her mind at the last minute,

But the worst thing happens

She starts to lose her balance

He runs breathlessly to grab her limb,

But unfortunately, he’s too late

He freezes as he watches her fall to the ground

Imagine the thoughts going through his mind

She could’ve been the love of his life,

But the beautiful woman is gone

This adds to his reasons for wanting to die

He lets go of the parapet and falls like his tears

And he flies without wings to join her in death
