The Makings of a Suicide Letter (what to write)

[JC4life]

As I sit here on my porch
Listening to the crickets chirp
And admiring the deep blues and grays
Of late evening sunset
I wonder:

How does one say, “Goodbye”?

That word in itself
Does not describe
The pain one must be feeling
Sadness, anguish,
Or any other emotion.

It is not even honest.

For partings of such are never pleasant.
“Good,” is a word far too glorified.

Yet nobody likes
To leave on a sad note.

So why does one choose
To murder themselves?

Death cannot be sugar coated,
So why do we try?

One could say, “I love you,”
Or, “our love will never die,”
But even that is not
Even half way true.
For if one really loves another
They would stick out
Such horrible times
For the sake of the other
If not for themselves.

So why leave a letter?
To comfort grieving souls?
A mere letter hardly does justice
To the pain of losing
Someone you love.

So,
What can one honestly write
In a suicide letter?

I was depressed like that when I was younger but now I feel that I am imortal..go figure.

I never got that either, when I thought about suicide, I always thought about the point in a suicide letter too.

Eh, well anyway, love the questions and message through this. I very much enjoy all of this, especially the part in dealing with the word, "Goodbye". Very true...

Nicely done.
