Poem

Chairwell Cruel World



I shall not live beyond today
I'm strapped upon a dreaded chair
I wish my life I could replay

I hear the pastor softly pray
So sweet a sound while I prepare
I shall not live beyond today

Some innocence I once did slay
How damage done does not repair
I wish my life I could replay

Not long until I'm gone away
I'll leave this world without an heir
I shall not live beyond today

What waits behind my last doorway?
Nothingness or descending stair?
I wish my life I could replay.

It's such a heavy price I pay
He turns the switch to my despair
I shall not live beyond today
I wish my life I could replay.





[special thanks to Rory and Fogglethorpe for their advice and to Zbird for inspiring me to write a villanelle in the first place!]
