Alone
In a dark room
This is what you have feared
Your family long gone
Your smile, has smeared
Your spouse you have lost
She died, to cancer
Then out of the shadows,
You found the answer
The closest thing to you
A rope, around your spine
A chair supports your feet
But for how much time?
Not much, indeed
The vision of life
Was not as you planned
Better off this planet
Better, to be damned
So a kick of the chair
Insured a loud *snap*
Eyes, as a pearl
So, empty and white
Looks to be at peace
Now one with the night
