Curtains Drawn

I shut the car door and lock it through the key fob.  Head down, I walk up towards the house and clamber in.  I lock the deadlock quick.  First I pull the blinds down in the kitchen.  Then I close the curtains in the living room.  Upstairs, I close the curtains in the main bedroom and check the rest of the house for any other light source getting in.  When I am satisfied, I re-heat the meal I have already prepared, sit down and eat…it doesn’t take me long.  I have a shit, prepare my work clothes for tomorrow and grab my headphones.  After one final check of the doors and the locks, I run upstairs and stick a cd into the disc player.  Connecting the headphones and cranking up the volume, I press play and am still.

                I am safe

                I am at peace.

                I am now in my own world…away from the piss and the shit and the scum outside.

Tears

 

Bring me sunshine, bring me tears,

bring me a burning light, bring me fears.

So few answer, so many questions,

now a lack of colour, scratching blackens.

 

Shed tears of anger, and of hate,

brought on by an act of check and then mate.

A mess of words confused with meaning,

a legacy left behind full of seething.

 

Dried up wrists lay loose upon a stained bed,

a gleaming white carpet now soaked blood-red.

Lifeless eyes stare into a separate realm,

a locked grin frozen; the point of overwhelm.

 

Deep down, they now know he is free,

his release unlocked by the suicide key.

Despite the sorrow he leaves behind,

this was his act to himself of kind.
