Tears fall
Staining paper
Leaving imprints
A shakey hand writes words
Ranting at the insanity
At itself
Blood shot eyes searched the room
Finnally resting upon the bottle
Filled with small white capsules
A chocked sob rang out
A final named signed
A pen falling to the floor with a snap
Foot steps echoed through the room
Stopping when the person sat
Hands wrapped around a container
Opening the cap quickly
Pouring the medication into a palm
Eyes blankly stared ahead
The pills brought to a thin lined mouth
Quickly swallowed down
A thin object was taken out a pocket
Glistening in the little light
The inviting object pulled down on a pale wrist
Pressure caused a line of blood to appear
And an unnerving gasp
Deep enough to cause damage
The act repeated
Upon the other wrist
More times then once
A few sharp breathes
Then silence
Lids closed
A razor dropped
A life lost
Silence for an hour more
Then an opening door
A happy call
Becoming more worried
The voice stopped
Letting out a cry
Franticly pleading for help
Words pouring out
"My baby"
"My child"
"Why"
The voice dropped on knees
Head falling to the floor
With no way to help
