Eternal Darkness

Eternal darkness-I did seek
How sweet, the taste of suicide
And I finally learned
On the day that I died

Then some hot-shot doctor
With all of his gall
Saved my wretched life
But what of my damned soul?

I would have given this a high score if your wording was a little more poetic on the last four lines. However, it was the best. ' thank you. Nate

Intense, Kiley! Interesting philosophical and religious undertone.
