Old Woman (True Tale)

"once i looked up to see a woman join eternity, an old woman, so sick of oldness, aloneness lack of direction, lack of hope, lack of love, lack of faith... so tired of the pain and the horror of another day decided today was to be her last day on a late date May, 1969 she breathed for her last time I watched in horror, when she stood on the ledge a moments hesitation before she finalized her life and she jumped to her end and I walked a bit sadder to see what life can bring what pain, what undeserved agony, what could I do? it was already too late, she was gone, to be with those she's so long waited to see again.
