This feels like the kind Of dark, warm night When you'd leave us Forever.
This feels like about the time You'd start crying Begging, pleading, Swearing you've had enough.
I've seen you cry I've seen you angry I've seen you point fingers At everyone else.
And so this feels like the kind of moment You'd start blaming us Again, Like always.
This feels like the kind of disaster That would finally make you give up And you would finally leave us, Forever.
This feels like the kind of weather, With our broken, unkempt, and unlit house, When you would hate us Forever.
So yes, this feels like the kind of Calm, unforgiving night When you'd point a gun at your head And leave us, forever.
Something I wrote last year when I was living away from home. This poem is concerning someone related to someone I know, whose identity will not be revealed. It's taking me a lot of courage to post this poem online, because it is very personal. This poem has been marked explicit for the reference to suicide.
