Peace In Death Poem by Joshua Amburn

Life holds me where I stand
Immobilized in despair
Kill me with your words
Cut me with your stare

Take away my hope
Banish me in pain
Prayers mumbled from dead man’s mouth
Being said in vain

Thoughts of pain and suicide
Gently fill my head
Giving me a silent peace
As I slip into death

The coldness takes a hold of me
Leading to my demise
One bullet in the chamber
Tears fall from my eyes

If only you could stop me
Tell me it’s alright
Maybe things would differ
From this fateful night

The skies darken
As the gun is raised
Demons, there to comfort me
Hell’s fires begin to blaze

My vision grows dark
As my corpse hits the floor
Death has taken me away
To be hurt no more
