The time has finally come, there is no one here now and I’m alone. I shouldn’t be surprised, for loneliness is the story of my life.
I have the rope ready and my stool, now I will put on this tight sweatshirt to secure my arms, just in case I change my mind. But, I know I won’t, I just have to end this suffering, I hope to God I have the courage to see it through.

Wow..I really enjoyed this poem. It shows the strength of God-that even if you can't feel God's help in your bad days, he'll come and RING RING for you on your worst days. A truly amazing piece... :)
Sadness, and saved by the bell. I had my dark days too, but they are gone and every thing is very good now,
This is such a powerful write with such an important message. We never know when something we do might change someone's mind and save a life. Love this piece and added to my favorites list.
Loyd, this poem is extremely intense, just like suicide is. It grips your heart and doesn't let go until the very end when you say I'll put some coffee on. Then relief floods in knowing you are not going to commit suicide. Wow! You have written an excellent poem about the deepest sadness a person can experience in life. It is heart rending to go through, and yes we all need to reach out to others in their desperation and grief. I used to take the calls on a suicide hotline, sometimes a person only needs to hear a kind person's voice and to be validated. Thank you for sharing a very powerful message. RoseAnn
