: No Particular Day by michaelcahill
Final Words writing prompt entry



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…"

Author Notes


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.
