You

For a contest, I'm not suicidal.

I want it
I seek it
desperately
death

the sweet sound
of nothing

The beautiful sight
of nothing

The wonderful smell
of nothing

The silky feel
of nothing

The creamy taste
of nothing

and the joy
the heart-swelling
love
of seeing you
once again

Even though I can't see
Your light shines above all

Even though I can't breathe
You smell so sweet

Even though I can't feel
My skin is tuned to your touch

Even though I can't hear
I hear the words "I love you."

And even though I can't taste
I will always taste your lips on mine

If there is no emotion
I'll feel my love for you

If there is no day
The stars will shine anyway

If your eyes can't see
I'll see you

That's all I need,
to live
And this world full of sights
smells
sensations
tastes
touch
emotion
day and the sun
Doesn't provide my life sources
So why live?
When death will be
so much better.
With you.

And only you.
For eternity.
You.

I'm not suicidal, I promise.

Suicide happens to be a tragically beautiful and interesting thing to write about, and you delivered it with grace and wonderful phrasing. I hope you won that contest. I must admit, this has a special place in my heart for several reasons, and I am gleeful to see so many pages of your writing. Truly, keep it up honey. Keep writing :)

This is really sweet, but sad because it's about suicide but sweet nonetheless. I really like how you kept repeating 'nothing' and then with the different contrasts.
