A Suicide Note

 

This is where

I bid adieu

To a life half-lived,

Devoid of hue.

Fettered , banal 

And listless. 

A journey steadily

Engulfed in darkness

To a point where

Existence has become synonymous with Oblivion.

 

 

Virginia trod the same path once,

Which I will walk this day.

The reason's the same.

Neither have feared the world at large.

Our nightmares, instead,

Have forever

Been comprised of our shadowy selves -

A reminiscence of our hideous past,

And a reflection of our sordid future.

Hence we choose to end our present.

 

Only the execution differs ...

And yet I did 

Live a dream once.

Her golden locks danced on my face

As I chased her 'round the meadows -

Through the shadows and the sun.

A ray of hope in the darkness.

A relief from my paranoia.

A pretty little thing that made me

Feel wanted.

Mon amour.

My nightmares return

To haunt me again.

For here she lies in my arms tonight-

Her golden locks unwavering.

Silent.

Lifeless.

 

This is the end of my dream.

And this is where 

I end my nightmares.

it was a painful read! the words, the flow was way too convincing that its a suicide and after a long torture and tormenting nightmare and never healing wounds....loved the way you justified why it was a "life half lived" and the suicide was justified!

lovely read....dark but beautiful...

This is indeed a very powerful piece of writing here,
few of the lines really stood our for me.
"And yet I did
Live a dream once." - Very deep and thoughtful!

Overall, a brilliant piece of writing which flowed perfectly well!
Great work :)

Wow. This was amazing. So filled with life, yet you could feel life itself draining as you got closer to the end... Especially after the lines, "And yet I did live a dream once" Such a vivid picture was painted in my mind... In a way, suicide seems... almost beautiful.

"Existence has become synonymous with Oblivion...."
this line is so true....
everyday life has turned each and every one into a ghost of one's existence!
and even if someone experience love, in the end he'll be left alone....
this is a poem very nicely written!!!from the begging to the end!
you managed to describe some feelings that most people don't want to see....
amazing work!!!!
but i really do hope that you don't feel the need to write something similar!!!!!
most of the time life's a b***h....but fortuntly there are some moments worth living for!!!!!
