Letting The Dark Thoughts Win

I have thought about it,
Contemplated it even;
Letting the dark thoughts win;
And every single time, we have come so close to the edge;

That edge from which after,
The pain and hopelessness ceases;
That edge;
From which after can only be found peace and tranquility;

How peaceful would it be?
To leave everything behind;
To not have to worry about the ebb and flow of this life;
To finally be free of the struggles of living.

Would You Love Me Any Different?

Would you love me differently,
If you found out I took my life?
