saved suicide

A Poem by Once Loved Now Lost

She's crying out for death
She cries to be struck down
for if Death's embrace
where to take her away
no more would she feel pain
She sits in a room and looks about
at the myriad of faces that surround her
wondering if it was possible
that one of those many faces
would care if she left
and entered Death's embrace
As she trudged down the street
she began to think
of how the world would be
if she no longer existed.
Contemplating that the world would be better
if she wasn't taking up space
Quickly running home
she rushed up to her room
and scribbled a short quick letter
that explained the reason of her demise
Running downstairs to grab the gun
that would throw her into Death's embrace
When her foot lighted upon the last step
the shrill voice of the phone rang out
ignoring the ringing sound
she went on her search again
As she dug through the drawers
the machine began to play
and out came a soft sweet voice
and this is what it said
You may not know who I am
But I know you
You amaze me and make me feel special
You may not remember
But you once saved me
Now it's my time to save you
I don't know what you're going through
And probably never will
The machine stopped and silent washed over
Tears falling down
I never knew someone cared
I'm no longer alone
