LOST SOULS

The selfish
Self deluding
Act of release
At the end
The point of serenity
Marking an end
And a beginning
For the one
Peace
A perfect painless peace
An end of heart ache
Physical pain
Emotional sorrow
Loneliness perhaps
For those remaining
Pain begins
Picking up threads
Of a self extinguished life
Tying loose ends
Cleaning up the mess
Hating them
While mourning them
Loving them
While despising them
Coming to terms
With the loss
