*Possible Trigger*

Possible Trigger

Once Again

Once again
I am faced with the decision
of whether or not
to live

Panic
rises within me
piercing my heart
with her fingers
of sharpened steel

My mind
stands entrapped
in a maze of boggling images
and feelings
that come
from a shadow world

Slowly
I rock myself
hoping to shake loose
the cobwebs surrounding
my lifeless soul

Inside
I am lost
my trail of breadcrumbs
eaten by the ravens
the decision
beckoning to be made

Something I wrote to my girlfriend (now wife) over 30 yrs ago after a suicide attempt:
My love for you runs so deep
That one tragic day
When life was so gray
Myself, I decided to KEEP
