Romanticism in suicide amongst other things

PuppyInspired

a balcony seems to be the perfect place to be sanguine covered eyelids, trickle to pale lips lean over the edge, let the winds decide your fate find a sweet lover, or callosity pushing you off no hesitation, no blinking. not one little breath nobody has been in love with sallow cadavers remarkable dead people were remarkable first my greatest downfall would be untimely death

you're not alone, you don't have to be alone whispers texts on read, cancelled calls, adieus goodbye messages and vacant lock screens

my worth is not placed inside of other people my sweet honey arms made to love in this life i am made not for ends from romantic balconies but the romanticism found in many other things

This poem is all about duality, half glass full and empty kind of vibes. I was listening to this song called 18th floor balcony for the first time, and I saw the title and immediately I thought about death and suicide. You jump off balconies right? It was a very sweet romantic song, I felt like a dumbass. There's a lot of things in my life that would affect me a lot differently if I was more positive about the experience though, and this poem is about looking at things differently.
