Peace
Beautiful flowers fill the room
People gather around in disbelief
There is silence except for
the sound of tears
My husband and kids are in shock
Was this really happening
Or was it all a bad dream?
The pain they feel is unbearable
Their lives will never be the same
forever tarnished by this selfish act
Why did it have to come to this?
What did they do wrong?
What about me? Is my pain unbearable too?
Am I wondering why?
No, I'm not in any pain
I'm not wondering why, I know why
Life was too painful
Only death could take away the pain
I lay in a permanent sleep
inside my coffin
The peace I've always longed
for is here at last.
