THE SWEET RELIEF OF DEATH

 a single tear rolls down my face
as i watch everything i have go away
my children, my husband, my life
i have nothing left in this place

a drop of blood hits the floor
as i try to imagine my life before
my children laughs, a smile on their face
i realize how much i will miss that place

the ground turns red as i watch myself bleed
it happened as fast as i lost everything i need
i feel a weight lift as i take my last breath
and i thank god for the sweet relief of death.
