  Oct 2018 corazon
Jack Jenkins
It cannot be described
only imbibed
through many sorrows
and sorries
until the pain
recedes to numbness
your compass
points to death
& you see the peace it brings
the silence
the darkness
you make your mind up
maybe not today
or tomorrow
but you know
you're going to die by your own hand
& you feel
just a brief
fleeting
happiness

...

that's the sound of suicide
//On anxiety, suicide, and darkness//
Not in a good headspace right now. Thank you for your concerns, I just needed to vent this.

Please, don’t leave
Please, don’t go.
You can’t forget our song, that soothed our airwaves
Our long drives down the empty highway at midnight.
Choose me, I promise I won’t misbehave.

Please, don’t hurt me
Please, don’t torture me.
Can’t you see what you’re doing to us, to me?
Im drowning, gasping for air
While you sit back, ignoring my every plea.

Please, don’t forgive him
Please, don’t love him.
Your return irritates my nerves.
You don’t love me.
Stop lying with those words.
My first poem i ever wrote.
corazon Oct 2018
My demons will be the end of me,
Yet, they’ve unsuccessfully tried so many times before, endlessly.
Tonight however, an old adversary returns with an archaic fiendish blade
Accompanied by modern capsules of nightshade.
Now, it’s time to begin, shall we?

Darkness envelopes me, silencing my every plea.
The devil in my mind escape through the shadows, finally again free.
Fresh carvings onto my rugged canvas, wine red ichor flowing.
My demons will be the end of me.

I lose focus, light disappears from my soul as I attempt to flee.
I lose consciousness, I beg for comfort but I know there is no guarantee.
I lose sensation, death’s finality encroaching, I've never been so afraid.
Yet, I fear nothing as I begin to feel bliss drifting off into the dead sea.
My demons will be the end of me.

— The End —
