Deep Sleep

 

Room dimly lit by dying candle light.

 

Another shot of wild turkey I drink quickly.

 

The whiskey burns as it moves down my throat.

 

But the taste, smooth and crisp, that is all I care for.

 

I look at my watch and I release a sigh.

 

Again I have stayed up well past midnight.

 

I promised to never do this again.

 

A promise I am now going to keep.

 

Thunder booms outside but I feel no fright.

 

The rain is falling down heavily.

 

Before I walk out I remember to put on my coat.

 

Wind is howeling, the lightning flashing, thunder booming, rain pouring, weather is another thing I won\'t have to deal with anymore.

 

The rain hides the tears I cry.

 

No more pain after tonight.

 

Walking closer and closer to the bridge overlooking the creek.

 

My mind is clear as I look down at a wonderful sight.

 

The water is moving rather swiftly.

 

The rocks I hold will make sure I don\'t float.

 

My arms are open wide like a bird ready to soar.

 

But, I am not going to fly.

 

I take one leap and I vanish out of sight.

 

Ready to finally get some sleep.

 

The water is all around me but I have no fright.

 

The stones do their job and help me sink deeply.

 

I can feel the cold water moving down my throat.

 

I choke and gag but I will not breathe anymore.

 

The ones I loved I know will cry.

 

But my pain ends tonight.

 

My corpse will forever stay in the creek.
