Poems By Ruth

Just the Suicide Of One... And the Hope of Another

I could die and nobody would care right?

i could just die this every night!

I am just a drop in the bucket

I could take a survey of who would care! A ballot!

Who would care!

Who would want to share

Their precious time for me!?!

Is there anyone that will see...

See this pain?

The clouds over me that produce so much rain?

The scars that are so deep?

The sorrows that I always keep.

Will someone save me please?

Everyone else holds the keys.

Come on!

We are in a relay so pass the baton.

The baton of happiness!

Come! Help this heart that has become callous!

Help it heal!

Help it feel!

Please help it feel again...

Just pray with me... Say Amen.

Please do something I haven't much longer

All my life is now a blur...

Help this child of Jesus.

Help me in all my blindness.

Please save me...

I am holding on but barely...

I am holding tight to this life preserver.

Don't come to me after...

Don't.... Don't.... Just don't.

Cause then I won't be here. I won't.
