It's Been A Long Night
This poem is about Chris' suicide attempt.
Rain coming down
Legs getting heavy
Stop in a bus shelter
Rest for a while
Smoke a cigarette
It’s been a long night
Pills kicking in
Mind getting heavy
Feeling it coming
Won’t be long now
Smoke another cigarette
It’s been a long night
Fear starting in
It’s all getting scary
Don’t want to do this
Take it all back
Back against the pavement
Scream at the night
Rain in my face
Life getting heavy
It’s almost over
Can’t stop it now
Smoke the last cigarette
It’s been a long night
