death's deception

Sarah turned from the mirror

Her eyes swollen from tears

Blackened from smeared mascara

Fogged by depression

The words still hang

Like a weight on her chest

Poisoning her mind

Blinding what fragment of reality she holds on to

Better off dead

Better off dead

It would be an end

To the torment

The sorrow

The pain

If but to grant me a moments peace

Just to take it all away

Let me drift off to a better place

Where I can be me again

She closes her eyes

There is no pain

She has found her peace

She drifts

No tears

She smiles

No ...

Nothing

It is a deception
