Forsaken Step- A poem about someone taking their life
Title: Forsaken Step
Taken apart just the other night
I'm picking pieces of wrong and right
The skin of my dream is peeling away
My heart is a pure form of the finest decay
Not knowing how I got here, what is this place
Reaching for reminder; rubbing my face
The way my skin felt so cold...
I sit here on this jagged stone
Entranced by how I'm so alone
Engraved with names; forever they say
The word at my throat like a razor blade
Taking the moment to new shades of despair
I reach for your touch, just hoping you're there
Down on my knees; my needs taken from me
I'm lost and drown in this misery
I can't catch my breath, cause I can't breathe
Can't feel thought; or make believe
A flashback of the last night I can see
The limbo I'm in, my new eternity
Reminded of what held me each day
Now reminding what will kill me away
When I took that step, and lost myself
I now realize exactly where I am
And how nothing I do can save me now
