This old wooden pier is cracked from years of abuse
I cross ever so sluggishly
Bleeding from my bruised and battered wrist
The grime seeps through and tears at the flesh
Warm thick blood slowly exiting my dismal body
Tear stricken eyelids swollen from pain
Seeing the opposite side seems to be vanished
They are watching, peering
Terrified, fearful and apprehensive
They will not dare assist me
My blood has begun to swell into a pool
A stream tricking so slowly away from my body
This pier so loud with crackling
Reaching the end, I peer down
Slowly rising to my battered knees
I fall so pleasantly to the dark murky water below
Sinking my tears are washed away
My breath gone
Pleasure

Drowning

Contributed by williamdye on Friday, 23rd April 2004 @ 11:24:34 AM in AEST
Topic: Suicide

Creeping at a slow antagonizing pace
This old wooden pier is cracked from years of abuse
I cross ever so sluggishly
Bleeding from my bruised and battered wrist
The grime seeps through and tears at the flesh
Warm thick blood slowly exiting my dismal body
Tear stricken eyelids swollen from pain
Seeing the opposite side seems to be vanished
They are watching, peering
Terrified, fearful and apprehensive
They will not dare assist me
My blood has begun to swell into a pool
A stream tricking so slowly away from my body
This pier so loud with crackling
Reaching the end, I peer down
Slowly rising to my battered knees
I fall so pleasantly to the dark murky water below
Sinking my tears are washed away
My breath gone
Pleasure
