Wormholes

I wish I could find a wormhole

hop in, travel through a crease in space/time,

come out in a place where 

there is no more 

anything,

come out in a time when 

I can just find you

again.

Where I have everything I need, 

some of what I want,

and none of what will harm me.

There is no blood in Destinalia.

No blades.

No hate.

I used to find this place through roleplay;

now it only lives in the mind

of my brother.

I have abandoned hope.

But what if the way out 

was easy?

A noose, a neck,

some pills, a swallow,

a car, some courage.

Maybe this is what trigger warnings are for.
