Long library

The long library

Is filled with no light

It's just empty

not a single book in sight

It's so depressing

just standing here

waiting for nothing

nothing to appear

In a way the library is me

empty waiting to be filled

Waiting for nothing

Just waiting to be killed

Something is different

I notice suddenly

Someone waiting

waiting just like me

I take a book and walk over

and begin to fill their shelves

and they begin to do the same

we have a reason to be ourselves

We begin to fill the library

with all these new books

each one a memory

All happy from the looks

Suddenly new people 

smiling oh so very bright

tell us to be strong

telling us to keep the fight

I have a long library

And all of it's shelves are filled

me and my new partner

we are both so very thrilled

Author's Note

No matter what, on the verge of killing yourself or what, you have someone, someone in the same situation, someone you can help. When you fill their shelves, they'll fill yours.

I liked this I took it that you are a book waiting to be read and opened however you also have to read other people and be open and honest with them and open up your pages to them
I also found it quite or slightly religious like God had put you in the world and you are the book alone and crying out then you meet the second person who I took as God or Jesus then you weren't alone then other people appeared and you filled the library the library in this context may be just a group of people you connect with with same beliefs who are happy and support each other turning each other's pages in life opening up to each other so yes I did love this your poem it can have many meanings well done x

Very strong poem. There are always people out there who can relate to your situation even if you don't feel like it. Connections helped me out of my depression. Thanks for sharing! Great stuff.
