It's Been A Long Night 

This poem is about Chris' suicide attempt.

night-1192828_1280.jpg

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
