slip away.      ~t.h.
He slashed his wrists, then slit his throat
He laid down quietly, dying all alone.
As the tears built up and streamed down his face
He smiled brightly and was content with this final mistake.
Knowing that soon he would lose his consciousness
He thought one final prayer with absolute confidence.
“Forgive me, Father; i know I’ve wandered away
“But please, if you’re real, don’t let me stay.”
As his view became darkness and he felt himself slip away,
He realized he’d finally found the numbness he’d wished would’ve replaced the pain.
