Dirge

I remember this moment vividly
Your hanging body behind the bedroom door
The deafening sound of the train passing by
I begin to collect myself as I stare out the window

Before I grab my gun from the closet and set it on the bed
I sit for a moment
Staring into your lifeless eyes
Wondering what led you to this

I can't live without you
I can't live
I put the gun in my mouth and take one last look at you
One last breath, I close my eyes
