Poem
The Gate As night begins to fall, she sits quietly at the gate. Her ambitions are high, but it is up to fate. For he's not the only one, that death will endure. She waits like a stone, she wants to be sure. She cries out to God, believing not, that He is there. She debates once again, that this life is, or not fair. The wind seeps through her, as if she were a window. The gun at her head, awaiting the hard blow. Her love went away, without making a sound. He's buried beyond the gate, six feet underground. She longs for his arms to wrap around her tight. It won't be long now, she will be with him tonight. As she counts to three her hand starts to quiver. She pulls the trigger slightly, as she feels a slight shiver. She is now ready, to commit this horrible sin. Someone will find her in the morning, and open the gate to put her in. She will be wearing a white dress, like she did on their wedding day. There will be no more sadness, like when the cancer took him away. There was a loud explosion, her body, now limp on the ground. Her spirit rose out of her, escaping to where it was bound. She opened her eyes, and then began to scream. There was nothing but darkness, it had to be a dream. She searched around blindly, then she heard a loud voice. It asked, "Why did you do this?" She replied, that she had no choice. She heard her name being called, and went to find the source. She was startled when she found him, he sat laughing without remorse. He then welcomed her in, as she entered this empty space. She heard voices screaming in agony, a puzzled look upon her face. She knew something was wrong, and began to run away. But there was nowhere to go, this is where she would stay. She then prayed to God, with everything that she had. He replied, "I am sorry,” He sounded disappointed and mad. He explained to her, His decision, why this was the only choice He had. He disappeared quietly into the distance, leaving her to remember what she had. She looked up to find her husband, waiting patiently by an unopened door. She begins to run in his direction, wanting to be with him so much more. He blows her a kiss slowly, across the air it fell. Leaving her feeling shameful, feeling that she deserved this Hell. Thinking that she should have waited, but knowing now that it was too late. Oh how she wishes to go back, where she sat waiting patiently by the gate. 11-07-10
