Is there any wonder why my heart breaks more each day?
Can I cry a tear from eyes swollen from salty passings
Destiny has dealt my hand thus I play it out ten fold
Sands from my life's hourglass fall one grain at a time
Grim reaper knocks upon my door when my time is not quite up
will I open the vein spill the blood ending all this pain
Will I dig deep within this empty soul and find some strength
Dredge this weary body through another pain filled hour?
Lift heavy heart, clouded mind, and walk through life again
Must I dance this waltz of what used to be my life?
Can I not just walk away from what can not be changed
Damage done deeds written in blood ,sweat and oh so salty tear
Penalty blade, slice this time as blue turns to bright reds
Puddle stain the floor beneath this ever so free shell of….
What used to be called me……
Please tell me what you think

Very sad and heavy
Is taking one's life the only answer? You can always just take the high road and never look back. I have known too many people who have taken their own life as an answer. To me it is all a shame. You can be a new you in a walk away life. A good write, but so sad. -

Thank you for reading and I would never and I mean never take my own life. I write dark poetry. That is just who I am. My husband took his own life in 2001 and I too believe that there is always a better way, thanks again for reading and yes there is a better path to take I fully agree!

WOW!!!
I just clicked on this one at random. WOW!
It describes how I have been feeling these last few weeks. My wife has a very high white blood cell count and may (possibly) have leukaemia.
I have been thinking "What if she dies? How will I go on?".
She is 61 and at that age, leukaemia is more dangerous.
I hope the doctors have it wrong!
Thanks again for such a wonderul, though really sad, write.

Such a sad write - one feels as if all is lost, and life is not worth living in these lines. We all have opportunity to live, just some chose to take their own life and end it all. Liked the picture you chose and the way you wrote this.
