The Sound of a Fading Heart

Suicide..................

It's such a small little word yet, it carries such HUGE implications. I can't even begin to imagine, the pain, the suffering that drives someone to take such a step.
Below, I've got a little poem that portrays this very theme. 

A thousand cries,

A hundred screams,

A million tears,

Wetting my cheek.

A billion thoughts,

A dozen schemes,

Fewer words,

Yet fewer dreams.

Not a single laugh,

A single smile,
A glint in her eye,

Resolve slipped by.

The motions repeated,

Day by day,

Like a clockwork girl,

There's no escape.

A door that's closed,

A key that's lost,

A mind lies bare,

A soul lies fraught.

A heart beats fast,

And then drops low,

A head falls down,

Dead, on the floor.
