Suicidal ideation is like a stain on a
white lace shirt.

With a twitch: the correct settings, right
chemicals, perfect formula,
fingers have the ability to erase it completely -
With a twitch: rub instead of dab, hot
instead of cold, bleach instead of soap,
fingers have the ability to ruin that shirt
in an instant.

Once a stain has been created,
it may take some long time for anyone
to see it.
Once a someone does notice,
it cannot be unseen.
The white lace is saturated brown,
or maybe red;
the stain has ruined the
image, the appeal -
the wearer may try to forget
but will be unable.

Suicidal ideation is like a stain on a
white lace shirt;
that's why she's begun wearing black.
