No Going Back
...after suicide there is no going back
no gently returning to that good peace of mind
wherein God's in our universe and all's well with the world
because we are whole no more, rather shattered and
struggling to withstand the shards of horror that shine
reflected in the eyes of our acquaintances as they check our
crown for thorns and our expressions for evidence of collusion.
Was it a phone call we failed to return, a favor, a smile?
...after suicide there is no going back
no gently returning to that good hope we love in one another
when earth tugs only at our feet, not at our lungs, and leaves our
hearts at liberty to risk, to dare, to trust, and to tame.
In retrospect, there is no going back, no explanation, no
reason good enough to justify our lack of interest in one
whose loneliness could only be assuaged by death.
....after suicide there is no going back, only memories.
_Lucy
