# Poem: The End of a Lonely Night

Author: Brandie
Tags: Night, Poem, Suicide

The lights outside flicker in the darkness  
As they often do in these scenes.  
The Setting:  
A rundown cheap Motel  
In a twelve-by-twelve room,  
Empty even with me in it.  
The Time:  
Dark enough  
To see the City from these outskirts  
And without a decent cup of coffee.  
  
I stare out the large, lone window  
Always big enough  
For that cliché jump  
And splatter  
Without hitting the so few flowers at the entrance.  
Clever.  
  
I swig down my last half-shot  
while listening to the static of the T.V.  
White-noise on deaf ears.  
I absent mindedly brush off dirt  
From my stained jeans  
One last look at her picture  
And my note  
And I make my final quick decent.
