The Last Night

Digging the knife in one last time,
I watched it drip down my arm,
Letting the pool below me stir
I decided it was time,

There was nothing left for me here
I walked to the place where I spent so many nights,
Lying awake staring at the stars,
I was not alone on this night in this place

For the light was on,
Only one other person could it be
I told him of my plan,
He stood there in horror of what I’d said

He told me stories,
But I wasn’t listening,
I was too busy thinking of what was to be done
He noticed my minds absence and told me these final words

You were created for a reason,
There’s a God that loves you,
And if you let him in,
This will be the last night you spend alone.
