BOURDAIN

Suicide happens in an instant.

It comes at a moment’s thought.

It is not the darkest day,

Nor is it even at the deepest of despair,

The black clouds had lingered beyond the moments of silver linings

In the recesses of memory and thought

Suicide was always an option

It was a place visited

Often at times.

The bright lights of happiness and even fame

Could not blow away the storm clouds

looming in the distance.

One day

Much like any other day to you and me

It starts with a feeling

Moves into a (fleeting) thought

And it ends with an action

Alone

Solitary

Beyond the words and ears of love

No explanation

No real reason

Like ending a really good book

And making the decision to turn the last page.

Some understand, some do not.

You will be dearly missed good sir.
