Suicide
I cry each night to end my life
No happiness in this man's soul
Will it be a rifle or a sharp knife
Just one less man in this human role
You may ask why end your life
And giving up is not the answer
But I have no family and no wife
And soon to end my human cancer
I shaky hold this rifle to my head
I have pulled my deciding trigger
And there is darkness as I lay dead
but life goes on, being so much bigger

Ears buzzed as he said

The oak oval looking glass
Mimicked her hollow figure:
Her ebony mane following the wind
The crow's feet that trail a
Another Chance
I sat alone in my room,
holding the ultimate tool of my fate.
I'd been keeping it all inside,
forgetting to forgive
