Morphine Injection

Morphine Injection

A Poem by Rachel Elizabeth
"

Just a little something I whipped together in Health class when we were talking about suicide.

"

 Numb me and dull my pain. 

Stop the bleeding. 

Stop everything. 

Let me be lifted up,

Taken away. 

Let me be free of misery, 

Free of jerks and free of hate. 

I won't kick. 

I won't scream.

I refuse to deny,

The drugs you give me. 

 

I'm lost in darkness.

Never-ending toil. 

Wonderment and crazed madness. 

I can't tell you anything.

I'm closed off.

I shouldn't care so much.

After all, you never really did.

 

The lust of the blade calls out to me.

It screams the name of every person I loved.

It tries to convince me. 

It tries to erase my past.

 

I can't get away. 

My arms and legs won't allow me.

I try to cry. 

I try to scream. 

But so sound escapes my mouth.

I changed my mind.

End this dream. 

I'm fading away, 

But the morphine dulls the pain.

 

Inject the poison into my veins. 

Watch the blades as they slit into my skin,

As the blood rushes out.

When I look through my memories, 

They're all blank. 

Nothing flashes before my eyes. 

I was hoping you would be there.

 

I bleed and vomit. 

I can feel the tears pouring over my eyelids.

I'm watching my body go through twisted agony.

My spirit floats away.

And I'm watching my memorial service,

From the couch next to you. 

You keep your composure.

But I swear...

I see a tear?
