Last Tear, Last Breath

You climb the chair

And gently touch the rope

Silence is spread in the air,

No ray of hope.

You blink away the tears

That threaten to fall

You’re trapped inside

The 4-cornered walls

You release another sigh

You climb another chair

You start to cry,

But life isn’t fair.

When you finally want to stop,

Someone pulls your chair away.

No one wants to stay.

Until the end,

You wonder why.

The last tear,

The last time you’ll cry.

Your lungs loose air,

You let loose of your last breath.

Your arms grow limp,

You welcome death.
