No Afterlife Poem by Jacqueline Purcell

No Afterlife



Say anything. I swear you’ll win me back
The hurt will go away as long as you’re here
I’ve waited eternity, but I can feel the time getting short
Immortality is so cruel, love is so gruesome
Borne sickness, the bones are shattering on contact
Insomnia, suicide; Why? Why dream of what I can’t have?
I can’t have love and I cannot die-
What’s the point of dreaming of an afterlife?
