Suicide

What is suicide?
Suicide is the taste of chalky pills shoved down your throat.
Suicide is the smell of metallic blood filling your nostrils.
Suicide is the sound of a gunshot ringing in your ears.
 
What is suicide?
Suicide is the salty tears dripping down your mother's swollen cheeks.
Suicide is the smell of freshly cleaned hospital linen.
Suicide is the sound of your mother's desperate screams.
 
What is suicide?
Suicide is the taste of regret sat on the tongue.
Suicide is the smell of a funeral home.
Suicide is the sound of apologies and euolgies.
 
That's suicide.
