Longing for an Escape

It calls me closer

"Just once and it'll be over"

Death whispers in my ear

Irresistible yet so hard to hear

Staring down, I observe my previous tries.

My unseen hurt, my unheard cries

No peace in my mind

Just a wandering soul trying to find

something to hold on to, begging to stay

But the strong presence of death

Washes it all away.

The demons of my mind bursting to be free

The emptiness inside threatens to consume me.

Silence surrounds

Hopeless.

Growing louder and louder

With each second that passes.

There I stay, waiting.

Wishing.

Looking for an escape.

Something.

Anything.

But there is nothing there

And I am left

Alone with my mind.
