Last night I dreamt a sorrowful dream
Where I had lost all hope.
I had decided to end my life,
Because I couldn't cope.

I wrote a letter to my friends
To tell them all good-bye
To tell them that it's not their fault
That I was about to die.

I told them that I loved them
Each and every one.
That any pain they may have caused,
Was null, void, and done.

With message sent, I then felt calm.
I knew what I was to do.
The time had come to finish things
That were long overdue.

At the tub I then sat,
With water hot and running.
I clenched a knife within my hand,
And heard my heart thumping.

A deep breath I cleared my thoughts,
And let everything fall away.
For everything would soon be better,
For I would die this day.

I brought the knife up to my arm,
And gave a little twist.
I slashed my arm wide open,
From the elbow to the wrist.

The pain was sharp, I held my breath
Till the pain began to fade
Then brought my other arm up
Repeat the first mark made.

The task is done, I felt relief
I feel my blood flowing
I rest my head and close my eyes,
as I feel my heartbeat slowing.

I feel a chill embrace me tight
And my body starts to shiver.
I try and look Death face to face,
But my eyelids barely quiver.

The time has come, to fade away.
There's no sense in looking back.
The pain and anger now are gone
As everything fades to black.
