letter VIII

In a dark cave,
I stay.
Surrounded by darkness,
Alongside despair.
My words unsaid,
Just bottled in.

I cry for help,
My screams unheard.
Trying to break the glass,
As unbreakable as it seems.
Walls unshattered,
Not even a creak.

Trying to hold on,
To that rope of hope.
As the days pass,
It seems death is near.
I knot hope,
And wear it as a necklace.

I stand on a small chair,
Waiting for my chance.
Do I jump?
Do I stay?
Waiting for death,
To behold me
In its warm embrace.
