Soon It Will Be Over

Dark grey thunderclouds

Suffocate the blue sky

Harsh winds blow

My hair around my face.

It's bitterly cold

But I don't feel the sting.

My thoughts are elsewhere.

The clouds threaten rain

But what do I care.

The first icy droplets of rain fall.

They fall harder

And hit me like frozen bullets.

But I don't notice.

Even if I did

What could I do to stop it?

Nothing. So why bother?

Lightning shoots through the sky,

The light reflecting

Off the silver metal of my knife

I put the knife to my wrist,

Make the first insertion

It hurts but why should I care?

I press harder,

Blood trickles from the cut

Soon the pain will be over, at last

More blood, more pain

Soon it will be over

Eyes haze, feel faint

Soon it will be over

Fall to stone floor

Soon it will be over

Eyes close, pains gone

Now I know its over
