![]() Just this once.A Poem by Cheryl![]() Suicide.![]() The wind rushes through my hair I can feel it stand from the chill Heavenward i glance, and i feel a drop Right against my warm pink skin Are they my tears, my heart seemed spent Yet i know i felt that icy drop As it touched my skin and my fear Was it real or was it not? Yes the rain, it’s pouring down I feel a drop and then some more My feet, so close to the ledge My eyes cast towards the icy cold below. Step back, just a while I can slowly feel my feet move My tears merge with the rain And for a moment, we're different no more. It isn't the first time I've felt this way It isn't the first time I've failed The last time i held a silver blade And placed it against the white of my skin The bulging vein stood ripe and ready To burst forth the crimson pool that lay within And then the bell, that ominous sound It broke my psychedelic spell A cut a bruise a tiny dot of red Poof I knew the moment was dead. That was then and this is now I knew it had to be today The cobbled pavement beneath my feet, the icy cold below It beckoned me and in a minute i knew i would be free But the rain, it cried It poured down- first in drops and then in torrential pain I was one with it, it was one with me We forgot where one ended and the other began Not today, not yet Once more I've broken out of the spell The rain it pours and i step back again The world isn't done, it beckons And just this once, i’ll hear the call. Again.
