The tears of time.

By Deviated09

A work inspired by The Prince's Gift of Suicide

I knew all was not right. The empty seat at the table, the pillow left untouched. The clothes now put in to boxes for donation.

The tug of these feelings of nothingness take me to new places. This place, devoid of all warmth, seems to be my new home. Where am I?

I regress into the placid nature inside all of us. My body now rejecting all in it's defense. The eyes growing just a bit older every minute.

I have seen this in others before. I always thought you were so piteful, why don't you try harder.. I understand now..

The ravenous appetite to feel anything, if even just pain, one more time. The lack of feeling now more deadly than the sharpest of razors. Why did you go?

I must know what it is like on the other side.. Can it truely be so bright and chipper as they all say? Does it really matter how I get there anyways?

With shaking hands, I'll make my own path in life. Let me be with you once more, my love. You had my heart till the end, even if that end is too soon.

I finally see what will end this bottomless pit of nothingness, this numb eternity. I can feel you better now. May the world not look on me with evil trespass.

As my body grows weaker, I now feel more than ever. The numbness gone, I can finally relax. Just let me rest once more before our eternal journey.

    Very well done but wondering how you can be so sure that you'll get what you want in another state? Sounds quite desperate and final for one so young I'd guess. Good effort here, cheers!

    It's just an insight into the thoughts of someone pushed a bit too far. Thank ya for the criticism though =]
