Reply To A Suicide Note Poem by Svanhildur Njálsdóttir

Dear my newest friend

I have heard of your plans
and look quite forward to meeting you
and I have an offer for you
I offer you a game of roulette
Spin the wheel and the ball
spin the chamber and the bullet
and we shall see what you get

I could offer sweet release
Help you to leave a world behind
So evil and cruel
If you trust
That I am not crueler

I could take away all your pain
Remove all your sorrows
or i could make you fester
in woe and dispair

I could turn your sins against you
turn your blood to maggots
make your burning desires
burn you alive

I could make you
relive every sorrow
and make you cry
over and over

I could show you what you have
and than take it away
smiling as i do so
with my fleshless smile

I can sow your mouth shut
while filled with hungry ants
that eat your tongue
and let it rot

Or I could offer you a better
more peacefull existance
away from the world
in which you hate so much

I could let you off
a baited hook
and let you swim free

However i may prefer
to make sure your forgotten
make it so no one will miss you at all
I can make it so no one cares
the moment you come to me
everyone will live on
and you will be mine
forever and ever
always watching them
being forced to watch them

I might decide to make your misery
their misery too
convince them to join me
and drink my tea with two

Perhaps it was I
who whispered in your sleep
to come to me
because I wanted you

Maybe it was me,
Who made you so miserable
in the first place
you decided to spin the chamber

I do hope to see you soon
It is always fun to find out
which face i will bring
out of my safe
when at long last we meet

Spin the roulette wheel my friend
ground is yours
Sincerely
Death
