Sorry. Poem by Rose Kirby

Save me.
How can I,
Save myself?
There’s nowhere,
To go,
If you,
Ignore,
“Home”.

Make a mark,
On no-one,
But myself.
Can’t decide,
Whether to live
Or die.
Suicide is a big,
Scary word.

Watch the blood,
Dripping down my,
Wrists now.
Pretending to,
Be something,
It isn’t.
Pretending to,
Be something real.

Wait for my,
Head to explode,
Implode, whatever,
Wait for the pain
That never comes
Wait for no one’s
Response,
Or feeling.

The noose,
The knife, whatever,
Just take away,
The pain
The suffering,
The ultimate pain-killer
The ultimate drug
The substitute for love.

Head down,
Eyes shut,
Wrists cut.
Until one day
You can’t bear
It anymore,
And you
Escape.

A love.
A life.
A scream.
A knife.
