Dearest Death

Dearest Death,

It’s been a while.

Your visit expected though not wanted.

What form will you take this time?

How will you try to take my life?
Dearest Death,

Are you the knife in my hand?

Are you going to try to talk me into cutting my skin?

Do you want to see my crimson blood run black?

Dearest Death,

Are you my pills?

Sitting so alluring on my bed.

Do you want to see my body turn blue?

Dearest Death,

Are you my anger, my sadness, my hurt, my pain?

Do you want to try and pull me in?

Make me isolate myself until it kills me.

Make my depression swallow me whole.

Do you simply want to see me suffering?

Dearest Death,

You’ve made everyone think I’m going insane.

They want to “help me”

Unfortunately,

Because of you they can’t.

My Dearest Death,

Go ahead and try to take my hand.

Your visit much expected, though, not wanted won’t last long.

Author's Note

i'm not pushing toward the suicide topic. these are just ways that death trys to get you. suicide is apart of everyones life in some way. whether it be a friend, someone you don't know and just heard about, or something personal, it's still there. i thank everyone that reviews this

Suicide Isn't really apart everyones life. Not everyone thinks of suicide.
It's true we all get depressed from time to time. My life hasn't been
all roses but I never thought about suicide. I can feel your write
though. It's hard sometimes to live life but we all have to.

A very well written and well expressed write. It's nice to
be able to express yourself and get things off the mind.

I like this poem. Very deep death and suicide are apart of everyone's life's. You made this poem yours and know one else's. Which is what death is to all of us in the end. Awasome job. Thank you for inviting me to read it.
