nitschke and stewart

A Poem by elko
"

trigger warning for discussion of suicide and self-harm. regarding the person who hurt me the most

"
i hope when you step off the chair
no one is there to cut you down;
held limply by your throat

i hope when you jump from the ledge
no one cares enough to catch you;
limbs sprawling on the ground

i hope when you slit your wrists
your blood spills from your veins;
life pooling beneath you

i hope when you down the pills
you can't bring them back up;
writhing in protracted suffering

i hope when you pull the trigger
it's your last work of art
and your brains paint the walls like pollock

i hope god is just a name to you
a faceless figure
a hopeless whim
amd when you give up your ghost
it drifts eternally; aimlessly
lost in a dour void

no one will hear your anguished cries;
your pleas for mercy
the same way you ignored my own
