A Sinner's Suicide
She eyes the pill bottle
Toys with the gun
Fingers the knife
Drops the noose
Not an angel
Not a devil
Caught somewhere
In between
Lost in her mental turoil
Answers sought
Met only with more endless questions
Hellfire beckons
Heaven denies
It seems
Neither God nor Satan
Nor anyone wants her
So off the deepest end
She steps
Into the darknest pool of
A loveless insanity
All hope abandoned
Faith lost
To nothing she clings
The lifeboat long ago
Left her to death's cruel whim
She has cried
A million tears
No one has ever truly cared
To see or hear
Her place
She has learned
All too well
Not fit for this earth
Nor any other realm beyond
Only eternal darkness
Never has been a saint
Not 100 a sinner
Yet still so harshly judged
And found
Always lacking
Always just below
Their too high standards
She falls
Again and again
Until one night
She makes the choice
No more second guessing
No going back
This time....
Enough is enough.....
