SUICIDAL
She stood on the edge, of the Empire state building
tears falling from her cheek to the sidwalk below
all cares crushed, all dreams dissolved, feeling
as if at this particular moment, all lost were her hopes
tormented, her mind, all confused and distorted
pain no longer the only feeling she possessed
It seems after years of constant lies, and cheating
plus the beatings, she's pushed to her breaking point
no compromising, dry eyes, no more crying, no longer
pain in her joints
her pain is subliminal, it's hidden from her mind,
yet evident in her very appearance
a soul so crushed, a living nightmare
no more outside interference
she's tried the pills, but they took too long
her conscience forced her to make the dreaded phone call
the hanging of course, was unsuccessful as well, the rope
didn't quite tighten around her small neck
a bullet to the head would be successful, only thing
she couldn't get her hands on a gun
she thought about drinking some gasoline,
but that proved very stupid on second thought
so on this ledge she stands, no fear, her mind it seems
is made up, she drifts closer and closer,
to the edge of the ledge, as the tears are now all dried up
with her eyes closed she steps off the ledge,
no screams, no emotions, not one word said
3:03 and 30 seconds on the dot,
such a percular time, almost as if it were planned.....
at 3:04 guess who walked out the door
her abusive husband....at his feet violently she landed

Hi Stephen, I have some personal experience with this subject matter and I have to tell you it was hard for me as I read her thoughts as you so well presented them.....it was strange and scarier still walking in those shoes again.......you captured something VERY powerful here......I am shaken........well crafted my friend.....well done.......tony xx
Yes apparently someone very close to me and near and dear to my heart also read it and is taking it hard, almost makes me regret publishing it, but it's my creative nature, I can't always pick and choose what I want to write. Sometimes,when your fingers began typing on the keyboard, the story unfolds without you ever anticipating what the write will even be about. I felt that this story needed to be told, it's the people who live this nightmare and have personally experienced it such as your self, that seem to appreciate it more after the initial shock of course. I thank you so much for being inspired by the things my mind conjurs up. I'm also glad you're still here to see another day....I appreciate you Tony. Thank you for your strength.
No worries my friend, you did a very positive thing by posting that piece.......no matter what the circumstances, eventually you have to deal with it...........thanks again Stephen..........tony xx
