He swapped a life
filled with faces
for a head
filled with voices

And a morning
filled with sirens
for a moment
filled with violence

Swapped the ringing
in his ears
for a permanent end
to all his fears

The demons that
he couldn’t kill
for the empty shell
that now lies still

The empty shell
that now lies still

The empty shell
that lies there still
in all our hearts

A sad poem- so sad when someone chooses that way to end it all. You captured the feelings of the subject and the general desolation of this person's fate.
