Suicide Pact Poem by Kelvin Rush

We set the date the venue the time
We held hands and drank our tea
We didn't need to say another word
We knew we would finally be free

We felt so peaceful relaxed and calm
Our minds were empty and clear
This suicide pact had cleansed our souls
There was no more anxiety or fear

We'd gone through the script a thousand times
And came to the same conclusion
This wretched life was not for us
We were sick of the struggle and delusion

I slept and had my final dream
There was no more need to pretend
This senseless meaningless life I'd seen
Was now finally coming to an end

We sat on the bed facing each other
The pills neatly placed by our side
At 12 o'clock in ten minutes time
We will both be getting off the ride
