Purgatory
I felt my last heartbeat
Took my last breath
Then the scream came
My soul no longer belonged to me
Wearing her black robes
She lowered herself from her horse
The Banshee came to collect me
She never spoke, not a single word
But I knew that I had to go
Where I had to go was her decision
She dumped me at the door to the afterlife
I heard family and friends calling from above
Family and friends calling from below
She left me to rot in the land of Purgatory
Her decision and her law without appeal
So, I guess I found my new home
At least for all eternity
