No Particular Day

No Particular Day

There is only turning it off
all of it

why is that so?
    you task me with inquisition?

without sense
    so you say…

    are you the master of pondering
    the answer fountain
    with southing waters of logical lotion
        drenching me
            flooding me
drowning me with sincerity

    beloved precious life
                        there is no other

so you say

                    and?

I don't want it
I don't like it
I don't want to live
        get it?
            it is without solace or reward
            pain requires medicine
until
the
  pain
goes
  a
                                                                    w
                                                                                       a
                                                                                                          y

wait.
I have your hand
I won't let go
I'll hold it till the pain goes away
I promise it will get better
you just can't see it right now
trust me
I care

"But, you aren't here
today…"

Suicide leaves the living with that horrible thought, "If I was only there." And there is some truth in it. That is why it hurts. But, it takes such a brief time to commit suicide. No one can be watched round the clock.
