Suicide

You sit down

at the window

rehearsing your goodbyes

looking at the streetscape

with a sadness in your eyes

You're going over 

everything you feel 

you aught to say

and moving through 

the motions that you feel

you need to play

Mental preparation 

for the script in which

your role

sacrifices everything

- your heart and mind

and soul

But this is it

- decision made -

No further need to 

be afraid

This is the last that 

you shall cry

before Death teaches you

to Fly.
