Goodbye

Is your life completely broken? Shattered beyond repair?

Do you sift through the pieces to find discarded prayers?

Do you scream in your dreams until your voice is raw?

Do your own whispers make you cringe and withdraw?

Did you make the same mistakes until there was nothing left?

Did you steal your own faith, and then cry theft?

Are you so sad you're unable to cry?

Are you already dead but just can't say goodbye?

Bleak but real, Darrel. You raise good questions. The last line is a corker.
