One demolished life

Agony and turmoil

Impressions on a broken heart

He lives there

In the shattered remnants

There was a boy I once knew

He made the world come hurtling down

He made it crash and burn

He made my heart sink

Further and further

One soul crushed

Ache and strife

He had no desire for tomorrow

But he knew

If he wasn’t cutting

He would feel the pain forever

There was a bright future ahead of him

But he was blind to it

The pain had already engulfed him

Living hurt too much

Grab the dagger

Wash away reality

Blood gushing

Pain numbing

Gasping pants

Toes curling

Pulse dropping

He’s losing consciousness

He knew this would happen

The floor floods with thick red poison

He gasps faintly

His skin pales

His eyes fade

One demolished life

Agony and turmoil

Impressions on a broken heart

He lives there

In the shattered remnants

This poem was something I originally wrote for English class based on a scuicide of my friend. Just wondering if it's any good?
