What a Bloody Waste
I don’t care what you say
she said ..
Just leave me alone to get
high in my
own head, so he did, and she
promptly
threw herself from a bridge ..
The driver she
hit, died there at the scene ..
All the
newspaper headlines say he
died instantly ..
While she, on the other hand
sits peeling grapes
while writing her memoirs in
an NHS
hospital bed somewhere ..

- Comment from author about the poem: almost every single word of this little scribble is true .. and what makes it worse, is the fact I scribbled something very similar last year

Ah - what a shocking and tragic account of growing numbers who attempt the same end and so often today bring it off - -except for those who live to tell their tale eh ? - -- I am left sighing deeply at your final lines Nev.
Yes, sadly such acts of self determination are on the rise .. thanks for your understanding Fay x
Such a sad tale Neville, has the lady been troubled after this?

I believe her to be something of a narcissist .. so she probably hasn't given it a second thought
The tragic irony of this poem, is that it highlights the absurdity of life. Here is a prime example, well written dear friend.
thank you Bella .. I have occasionally lost sleep wondering or worrying about what tomorrow might bring ..
