REPENT, THY SINNER, REPENT!

So easily forgiving yourself

you say,

'Life must go on.'

Except for those

for which it doesn't.

Remember the graves

and remember those

the earth covers

and remember, remember

what you said

and what you did

and foremost what

you didn't do

and what went

unsaid.

Life doesn't have to go on.

One day, one hour,

one minute, one second

it doesn't. It stops,

it ends. THE END.

Exit through the door

now unlocked. Don't

be afraid, behind it

is only darkness,

darkness and not more.

You don't have to

be afraid, you

shall be no more.

Thus for them,

and you know,

you know and yet,

and yet you

forgive yourself

all the graves

and all the lives

whose end

they mark

and all the suffering

and all the pain

that preceded

that darkness

behind the door.

Thus for them.

Thus for them

and soon, so

soon for you;

and yet, yet

you forgive.
