Fantastic write! Reminds me of E.E Cummings the way you arrange your words and letters. Lines like "the answer fountain" jump off the page!
We always have those "what ifs?" In our heads for many things but for any of us who has lost a loved one to suicide those "what ifs?" Are difficult to get past. The depth of feeling expressed through your words is simply amazing!
Keep up the good work!

This is an innovative format which explores the introspection of the girl contemplating suicide. Her voice argues, poses challenges to the supposed one who should be talking her out of the final move. But, he's not there. Excellent exploration of the plot theme,supported by downward spiralling shape of despair and cleverly chosen metaphors appropriate to the topic:
eg the answer fountain
SPAG: with southing waters of logical lotion ..soothing

So deep a thought in this work. I can see a flow of emotion that corroborate you muse in this poem. ''ave your hand
I won't let go
I'll hold it till the pain goes away
I promise it will get better
you just can't see it right now
trust me
I care" Unfortunately he's not just around at this crucial moment.

Definitely a confused young lady! I read the prompt and never even thought about suicide. Sometimes you never know when and if a person is going to go to that psychological place. Ick! The messed up lettering added to the confusion -- nice visual touch. So, what were her Final Words?

It would be terrible to try to stop someone whom you thought was about to kill themselves. I can't imagine it. But I know of many. You wrote this very well.

This is really sad and suicide leaves terrible thoughts. It is scary to think about and to live with the horrible feelings. great job.

This is gripping both in thought and presentation. I can easily imagine several conversations that you have condensed here to their essence. The ending is the truth. There is no need for guilt. Well done. NG

Suicide is such a tragedy. The victim is not just the person whose life is ended. The victim(s) are also those who love and want the trouble soul to live and get better. Your conversational tone with this contest entry adds to it's powerful impact. Excellent contest entry. Best of luck.

This contest has had the most intense poems submitted for contest entry I've read here on FanStory.
Here the pain is palpable, the sadness so real, the fear is angry and the ultimate decision to leave is vivid. An excellent entry for the contest. AT=/
