Death's Caress

Death's Caress

A Poem by DarkRainbowPie
"

This poem tells the common story of suicide, how sometimes, we don't really notice our loved ones slowly slipping away into another world.

"

''Nothing's wrong, I'm fine, okay?''
She said to all who tried to assist.
So they took her for her word, and carried on,

While she went off...to slit her wrists.

Time passed by of endless sorrow,

Her heart, never to be mended.

The people around her carried on with their lives,

While hers was soon to be ended.

 

That Autumn morning when they called around,

She was as happy as could be.

They stood there staring at their friend,

While she hung there, smiling, from a tree.

 

The arms that told her story,

Fell either side of her blue silk dress.

And never had she looked so beautiful,

At last, in death's caress.

What a sad poem, I've had experience with suicide in the past as one of my friends committed suicide. I loved how your words brought across the feeling of despair and sorrow. I particularly liked the line "While she hung there, smiling, from a tree." it was extremely powerful.

Sad and beautifully written. I like the title.
"The arms that told her story,
Fell either side of her blue silk dress.
And never had she looked so beautiful,
At last, in death's caress."
I love that stanza especially.
