Would that a moment
Of insight, beyond my years
Had been present that day
That sunny day in a city far away
When I saw you, when I became
A moth to your flame
Why could I not have known
Where my life would lead
Had I caught a glimpse
Of all that ensued
I could have done
One worthwhile thing
Gone to my room
Locked the door
Taken the blade
And ended the pain
For always
****
Love & best wishes to all

Really, really sad. Suicide is never the answer.

Hello
DeleteOf course, I didn't, and couldn't know the implications of that sunny Saturday afternoon, at 12. I didn't even understand why he held me in thrall in the way he did until much later. But, with the benefit of almost four and a half decades of hindsight, I would've ended it all that night, had I known what my life would be like.
Love & best wishes
