Poetry: Suicide

I watch, helpless,
as the house crashes
down around me.
Piles of fallen bricks
block my way to other rooms,
but to path to the door is clear.

I could leave.

But once I walk through the door,
the house will be gone.
I won't be able to come back.
And I don't know what's
beyond the door.

But I could leave.

I slowly make my way
through the rubble and,
with my hand on the doorknob,
I turn to look back at my house.
Everything I know is here,
Buried under the debris.

With a heavy sigh,
I let my hand fall from the knob,
and I pick up a single brick,
and begin to slowly rebuild.

    Another Chance

    I sat alone in my room,
    holding the ultimate tool of my fate.
    I'd been keeping it all inside,
    forgetting to forgive

    WHAT?

    What darkness
    Leads a tortured soul
    To break the bonds
    Which hold us
    Voluntarily

    What illusion
    So influences
    A mind once so

    ANGELORUM (from Latin: of the Angels)

    Blood, chasing itself in my veins,
    wants to catch up with ecstasy.

    Restless crimson life,
