The Purple Door

I passed a purple door one day while out for a casual walk Curiosity got the best of me when it began to talk It said it was a magical door and welcomed me inside It bribed me with indispensable knowledge if I would abide Only a brief moment of my time it would need Just step across my threshold it began to plead I thought for just a minute and wondered if I should What really did I have to loose, this might turn out quite good I clambered up the steps with haste and through the portal I passed Immediately I was whisked away through a narrow shaft As I tumbled through the darkness, I faintly heard the door slam shut A queasy feeling erupted in the bottom of my gut I shuddered knowing that I had possibly sealed my fate What an awful mistake I made, I should have opted for a golden gate I think my soul was taken, had I completely lost my head Eternity was upon me, filling me with dread A second chance I dared wish, as a silent scream danced on my lips A horrible thought flashed through my mind as I came to grips I should have kept on walking, never going through that purple door I certainly didn’t anticipate this and regretted it even more Had destiny played some cruel prank I truly could not tell All I know for sure that day, I was sent to hell ******************************************* Written 2014-05-21 : alternative ending
