Blindly I followed
Enchanted by your words
You led me by the hand
Into a dark and lonely world.
You let my hand go
But said you were right there
Then I tripped and fell
I could feel the angry air.
The ground came at me so fast (so fast)
And when I asked for help
My plea's were met with silence
Because you'd left me at long last.
--Nicole A. Bauta
**This is an older poem of mine, but I just found it and so I'm posting it. I finished writing it over a year ago, and started over two years before that...
The is a red trail
I walk it slowly and alone
Pondering my thoughts and feelings
And wondering how to get home.
I took a wrong turn
And ended up here
I was afraid of my reflection
And ran from my fears.
The trail is long
And neverendingly thin
Like a razor blad cut the road
Or perhaps a needle or pin.
This trail leads me to a cemetary
I can see it through the mists
And nothing is more relieving
than these red trails decorating my wrists.

(A quick side note; This poem is emo the the extreme, but it called out to me, and I've since learned to not ignore when one of my works (be it a poem, story, or photograph) jumps at me, so I posted it.)

and your words call out to me, very well penned. it reminds me of the path we take to suicide and reaching the cross roads to death or life
