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.
