Pure Despair

I have never tried to commit suicide or even thought of doing it, so I cannot say how people who have done this felt before doing it.I can only write down my own feelings when everything seems dark, when it seems I never again shall find light

Pure Despair

 

Ice cold, breathing, freezing,

shaking is my very soul.

No love, Death of Darkness,

nothing now can make me whole.

 

Blood red, breathing, bleeding,

pure despair controls my brain.

No light, Death of Madness,

nothing now can heal my pain.

 

Black tears, breathing, crying,

screaming is my silent voice.

No peace, Death of Lameness,

nothing now gives me a choice.

 

Old knife, breathing, cutting,

shaking is my very soul.

No love, Death of Blackness,

nothing now gives me control.
