the rain, the fall, the words

THE RAIN, THE FALL, THE WORDS

the rain drops fall

as if to wash away her tears

instead, they make her pain worse.

the fierce drops cutting her skin

so hard, you’d expect blood drops too.

not from her eyes, but her heart,

there’s no more bright red blood

like her soul, her mind, her life

her once strong heart has darkened.

no more love to keep her alive,

no more love to keep her strong.

feeling like the rain, falling from the sky

she jumped and then she fell

all the while she looked at life

through those closed eyes of hers

before the splash, she was asleep

a calm undisturbed sleep

her still face and slight smile,

the body was soon found.

no one knew what made her do it,

they didn’t know how unkind the world was,

to her, it seemed an end at last

no more the need to suffer.

if anyone had heard her final words,

they would have been left to wonder,

for before she jumped all she said was,

“i tried, i tried, but i failed”
