Chapter 3 - Her Note

I won't take it.

Don't try to break me.

I won't fake it.

You're killing me...

I'm falling deeper.

You won't hear me shout...

I'm going to sleep.

I'm bleeding out.

Red on white.

My shirt's saturated.

Pulse slit tonight.

Cuts reinstated.

I can't hear you.

My demons are screaming

Nothing you can do

I'm already bleeding.

Hushed whispers

Fucking with my head

Go figure.

I heard what you said.

You won't miss me.

Fuck it hurts.

I'm getting dizzy.

blood on my note.

It's too late.

To write another.

Don't wait.

I'm gone, dear mother.

Pulse slowing.

Dead pace.

Grief showing.

Etched on my face.

Goodbye. Goodnight.

I love you. Don't cry.

Blurred sight.

I did try...

She's dead now.

Gone. She's lost.

I really don't know.

Why her life was the cost.

She failed to finish.

Her note to us.

Her stiff hand grippin'

This note for us.

Her tear stains.

Mark this page.

Too much pain.

Too much rage...

I'm sorry. She said.

For being a burden.

Now she's dead.

And we're all hurtin'.

Her blood is on my shirt.

My hands. My lips.

Mixed with the earth.

Her cries in the abyss.

She's gone. She's dead.

All that remains.

Are the words she said.

Laced with her pain.

Sorry. She wrote.

I failed you all.

I slit my throat.

And braced for the fall.
