No Longer Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rejecting life brings a sadness of it's own,
tears flow steadily, no one can stem their
flow.

Racing quickly, they touch the heart,
causing it to tear slightly - sorrow trickles
out.

Not able to stand and fight, life-blood drains
silently, spilling itself across the lighted
path of once thought of knowledge.

No more waiting, there will never be another
knock upon the door - life used to live here
once and now does so no more.
