Heard any sad songs lately?

I have.

On an acid stained table,
beside a sad worn out musical instrument,
and a book that's been forgetten,
a carefully folded paper read,

Dear World,

I'm taking a long vacation.
Later.

A stuffed backpack laid carefully on the floor
and on a cot nearby, bloodstained sheets was strewn carelessly
a limp arm, a slashed wrist
and you could have sworn she was having the time of her life.

On another cerebral dimension, I'm staring at the water flowing from a pathetic excuse for a fountain, listening in and out on the chatterings of random friends, thinking...

I'm not suicidal. It's just that...

I should start listening to happy songs.

Sigh.
