"They warned you, still you wouldn't listen,
O' see the blood--Look how it glistens..."
I should know better than to read you before bed time. Very thought provoking ending. Excellent as always.

"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
With the words you've shared above... no one will ever think about committing such... c", Mae

Comment from Chocolate Chip
What a well written piece! I like how you ventured away from the norm & chose horror to describe the taking of one's life. The images drawn from your choice words brought the poem to life. Thanks for taking your reader on an unexpected ride to show another way of how a life can end. Your work here is truly unique & wonderful! Loved it â?¡ ;) CC

This is so well-written, it is frightening. Many of us know of suicide in some way...and this reads and becomes the subject matter. It is perfectly stated and built to end as it ends.

Wow! Your collection of thoughts and vivid description bring this one final word, "Suicide", to definite perception. Great imagination and this certainly depicts the "horror" category perfectly! Best of luck to you, my friend!

First let me say. . .that final line (word actually) brought me up short! It was definitely what I expected!!!!
Second - especially in rounding back contemplation, this poem is horrifically effective. What seemed to be a gore-fest suddenly turned into sharp warning.
Had it ended with anything other than the word suicide, I would have awarded a 5 for the talent and imagery. But with that jolting ending, the six is my only option! :-)

Thanks, Leienco, and I'll take that "option" anytime you care to give it to me, LOL. I truly appreciate the fact that you enjoyed it, and I appreciate the exceptional rating and review.
Comment from DR DIP
You are the master of horror poetry and you do it so well. Just a couple of verses for perfect rhyme you may consider changing but hey who am I to say? its still fantastic as it is:
Begging will never provide release,
For I'm a sapless, savage beast
I'm the one you've been warned about
This path you chose with little doubt
consider:
Begging will never provide the feast,
For I'm a sapless, savage beast
I'm the one you've been warned about
This path you chose with little doubt
just a thought
as always dip

Comment from Trybuck
When suicide come calling
It is extremely appalling
Makes one squeamish to believe
One could be so deceived
To take their own life
Not with a needle or gun
but especially not a knife
Well done with your entry, Buck
