Complete!

This entry is submitted by me for Thursday Poets Rally Week 45,

Trembling hands picked up. 

The white transparent bottle jingled full of pills.
She read the contents and it said tranquillizer.
She opened up the lid, 
thought of popping some inside her.
But her self could not move it ahead to pour.
Bottle slid from her grip,
the rolling pills scattered on the floor. 
Blankly staring the floor she started crying.
Small sobs turned into big hysterical ones.
Sliding on the wall she thudded on the floor. 
A scrapbook laid aside, 
she slept on that numb floor and opened.
The scrapbook slowly turning through pages,
she saw and remembered....
he and she talked 
he and she talked some more
he and she met
he and she came so close
he and she confessed love
he and she hugged
he and she kissed
he and she were unbreakable
he and she never fought
he and she were the best couple
he died...
She is left...
She picks up the gun for once and for all,
a sound of click and she pulls the trigger.
She is also dead now,
and so the scrapbook is complete.

Alas there is no one to complete the scrapbook, after she's gone, like the way she could have.
Darn.

Nice read.


Cheers,

MAVERICK said...

Hmmmm, My visit though comes after ages, but my reaction is similar as always ' awestruck '. Your writings are filled with emotions, so deep, so well intertwined that one hardly looses grip of it at all. Like the poem . All the best .
Would surely make up for the lost time :P
P.S. The blog is open now :)

The Poet said...

Oh my goodness!

This is so sad.
You captured love, loss inability to cope and finally death very well.

Thanks for sharing.

Erm, wow. This is a very powerful, though dark poem. I loved the he and she section of the poem, very effective.

P.s. You made a comment on my blog, I wasn't fully sure what you meant, I'd be extremely greatful if you cleared up my misunderstanding, thank you.

oh wow...very tragic ending. I didn't expect the dark ending, but I think you did a good job to challenge our comfort level. This is a brave piece. I don't think I could write something like this. Keep up the writing, and thank you for stopping by to mine earlier and left a comment.

This was a very sad and a very tough read. I hope it is "just" (whatever just means) a poem and not a reality ... nor realistic thoughts.

Purvi said...

Extremely touching and sad! Oh my.. what an irreparable loss! :(

Jess PJ said...

wow. sad and powerful.

the 12th line punctuation feels odd when read
missing 'at' in 8th
sometimes i type faster than i think, too

Jay said...

Gosh this is really sad. Powerful words and the depression, the sadness and the pain is very well portrayed by the words. Loved it!
