Edges

The saddest word in every story is - The End

The edges of words cut deeper than the sharpest of blades.

Your careless, thoughtless mouth 

whispers and screams

darkness into my ears.

Darkness that slowly creeps

into my heart, tearing it asunder.

Darkness that slowly poisons

my mind, clouding its judgement.

Darkness that slowly wreathes 

around my soul, smothering it with each breath.

I struggle and fight

until I crumble.

Darkness wins.

As it always does.

Defeated, I submit to its will - a quick and painless end.

No other blade shall hurt me now.

I'm not a fan of suicide poems, I suppose because I've had those thoughts myself here and there, now and again. The darkness can be overwhelming. Find your anchor. Good emotional writing.

Thanks for reading and reviewing:) I´ve always had this crazy thought that if you take your own life you´ll be punished with, at least, seven horrible reincarnations and I really don´t want to be reborn into this world that many more times. So, the best thing you can do when darkness takes over is to write it down on a piece of paper.
