It's that bottle of pills I'd like to take
Staring me in the face
The easy way out
My Great Escape
Their evil encapsulated
In a small white cylinder
Sin ripe for the taking
A joy ride with no happy ending
Temptation brushes her soft *****
Gently across my cheek
But entombed they remain
Pain never ending
Motivation for resistance
To be felt by those held close
Dearly beloveds who matter most
What unknown effect is felt
Worth many times over
The suffering endured by an early end
By an absence of impact
Never to be known
By those still to learn Life's little lessons
The hole left unfilled
Weary wisdom left piled next to it
So silently war will rage
Rapture my soul
Tainted with the blood my heart beats
Behind closed walls
For none to see
Blissfully they remain ignorant
It is safer this way
