Just this once.

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.
