A Long Silence

She promised me love

Eternally

The light of the world

Will soon leave me

Sick of her life and

The pain that it brings

She shoots herself dead

Right in front of me

Her blood stains my face

A long silence

Throughout this place

I just can't believe

That something like this

Could happen to me

My unborn son

Still inside her

Drowning as she bleeds

The hurt that I now feel

No! This is not real

The joy and all of the love we had

Is gone

Why couldn't she see

How this devastates me?

To see the death of my wife

Right before my eyes

Into a fetal form

I lie beside her on the floor

The thoughts inside my head

Tell me I should be

Joining her in her death

To suffer together

A calm has come over me

I plainly see how it should be

To be with my family

Lying dead with them

For eternity

In complete misery

I take the gun

From her cold, bloody hand

I place the barrel

Deep inside my own mouth

As far as I can

Closing my eyes

I pull the trigger

Putting a hole right through

The back of my head

I fall to the floor

Bleeding there motionless

Next to my bride

As the silence fills

The room once again

At the end of my life
