Hanging There

The rope is around his neck tight
giving him no air and shortening
his life by the second,
his last thoughts were blank as if he were
being free'd from himself.
His eyes closed slowly and the sunlight
faded but still shined through his eye lids,
but he could no longer see it.
He hung there with his head sloped down
witha sad look on his face,
a look that showed he wasn't fully
accomplished in this life.
He hung there with no one to find him
and no one to care,
He was lonely but sad and empty as well
as deprived not only by his family,
but deprived from his life and the bad memories he
carried around.
It wasn't him that hung himself,
it was the loneliness that hung to him.
