Suicide Imagined

I coward like a cat in a corner
Licking my own wounds.
The agony of pain
Makes me feel alive again.
A feeling that couldn't have come too soon.

The immeasurable cruelty of truth
Supersedes my own ability.
Rivers of blood are flowing from
My wrists!
How could I not understand my actions severity.

Slumped against the wall
The darkness sets in.
Time is not salvable.
What I have done can never be done again.
