This Stone

  In A Second Everything Is Lost.

All Hopes And Dreams, I Have Tossed

  My Eyes Turn Dull And No Longer Vast

Painful Memories Flicker From The Past

  Inside Me, Is A Rotting Heart

Everything I Know Is Getting Ripped Apart

  A Bullet Pointed At Me, Slices And Leaves A Hole

That Missing Piece, Is My Heart You Stole

  I Look Up, As I Fall Deeper And Deeper Into This Void

Ending My Life, Is Something I Have Enjoyed

  My Eyes Slowly Pour Out Bloody Tears

I Am Content Now, I Have No Fears

  Slowly, I Start To Lose My Breath

I Guess This Means I'm Getting Closer To Death

  Nothing Is Heard, My Voice Goes Silent

I Find This Moment Beautiful, Not At All Violent

  Suddenly, I Get This Wierd Feeling

A Voice Comes To Me, And Says Its Not To Late For Healing

  In A Pool Of Raining Blood., I See A Smile

And The Laughin Of A Small Child

  I See A Group Of Friends Surrounding Me In A Hug

Happy Thoughts Fill Me Though, And I Feel A Strong Tug

 Then, I Finally Realise What This Is

It Will Surely Be Something I Will Miss

  These Pleasant Thoughts, All Of This, This Is Love

I Look Back, Earlier I Had A Choice To Take It Or Shove

  I Was Being Selfish And Only Thinking About Myself

I Ignored It, And Put It Up On A Shelf

  Now I See I Have A Reason To Live, To Survive

I Have A Reason To Carry On, To Strive

  I See The Thread Of Life, And Desperately Grab It To Hold

Now, Life To Me, Is Like My Eternal Gold

  Just As I Begin To Stand, I Immediately Fall

Then, Lying There In My Place, Is A Dead Doll

  Timing Was The Issue., It Was Too Late For Me

If Only I Had Realised Earlier I Would Be Able To See

  It Is Too Late, This Is The End, I'm Dead

My Bleeding Body Is Never To Leave This Bed

  A Mountain Of Tears, Shower Down As I Fly

Now, I Have No Choice But To Go To The Sky

  Taking My Own Life Is Something I Will Regret

Still, I Will Take This One Last Thing With Me So I Don't Forget

  That Second Before I Died, When I Realised I Wasn't Alone

The Feeling Of Love Is Placed In My Dead Heart, This Stone

A amazing story in this poem. Life teaches us to battle forward and reach for hope. So many strong statements in this poem.
"Now, Life To Me, Is Like My Eternal Gold"
The poem have wisdom and logic. I like the ending. Life is like gold. If I could sit and listen to my father for one more hour. I would be very happy. Life and time are very precious. A excellent poem. Thank you.
