I didn't want to die. I let everybody know what I was going to do. They never expressed more than passing concern. I didn't want to do it. But if I didn't, they would all think me a fool. I don't know why I acted like it it the first place. I never wanted to. I guess, I guess, I don't know. But now its done. I didn't want to die, dear god, I did not want to die. Now. Is this death. Am I in heaven? or hell... Perhaps purgetory, to work out my life. All I remember is the pain. The sharpness, as life was instantly worth more than I could ever know. As everything I saw was vivid, real. At that moment, more than any other, I never wanted to die. At that moment, I saw how much I wanted to live, how much I cared for this world and the people who were my friends. How much I would never want to cause pain. Then it all went away. I can't even remember what I saw, just that I saw it. I do not see now, but I know whats there. Nothing.. All around me, nothing. All I can think, all I can do, is to think of life, and those that I left there. My only memory is the love I felt for all I left behind. Even if none of it loved me back. Must I stay here forever, among nothing that I know. It is foolish to wish to go back and change it, it cannot be done. But I wish it anyway. It is all I wish, there is no future here, I can never leave nothing, for, being nothing, I can not be in it. Then I too must be nothing. Will I become more of that which I am surrounded by? Shall I lose my pain, the last I own. Shall I lose my remnants of reality, till I become nothing. The pain of that alone will become worse, till all I am left with is a pain. A pain I can not even feel, just know. A pain of loss, total loss. I will know what I can not be. I will know what I cannot feel. A pain. Never to feel it, but always to have it. Now I am lost. Now I am nothing, and will never know, what I was, what I could be.
