Suicide AttemptA Poem by Tsuki UsagiA poem about giving up hope only to be reassured in terms of love and comfort.
The phone rings next to me
and I pick it up to answer the call. The first sound to reach my ears is steel against wood as you let the knife fall. The tone of your voice brings tears to my eyes As you shakingly tell me you called to say Goodbye. My eyes widen in shock as you say you can no longer go on. That life just isn't fair and you're tired of being its pawn. I quickly try to calm you forcing my voice to be strong. Thinking through my words carefully not wanting anything to go wrong. But my soft words of courage only seem to be in vain As you repeatedly tell me you're alone, that you can't take any more pain. I feel my blood run cold in my veins and my heart slowly comes to a stop Upon hearing a beep from my phone, notifying me the call has been dropped. I rush from my house in panic ignoring the yells that ensue As I start the car and pull away refusing to believe I might have lost you. As I arrive at your house I try to keep calm. Quickly coming to your door digging my nails in my palms. The knob turns easily and I begin to make haste Fear creeping into my mouth but I just ignore the taste. I quickly locate your room my heart faltering at hearing no sound And I push open the door only to find you laying on the ground. I cry out in anguish as I rush to your side Cradling you in my lap hoping you haven't died. Upon seeing your chest rise I sigh softly with relief But I know it isn't over yet so the sigh remains brief. Slowly you look up at me and the tears pool in your eyes As you sit up whispering this isn't how you wanted to say Goodbye. Enfolding you in my arms again pushing away my remaining fear I tell you I won't let go. That I'm staying right here. I feel you shake in my arms as you sob into my chest I whisper words of love and courage giving everything my best. I tell you I don't want to lose you and that you mean the world to me You no longer are alone and from your sadness you are free. I tilt your head to look at you and lean in for a soft kiss I feel the tension leave the room as I bring you away from the dark abyss. I pull back from the kiss and hold you close to my heart Whispering again that I Love You and never again will we be apart.
