Bleak



She face a problem
Depressed, she cried a lot of tears
Her eyes were deeply swollen
Inside of it is hidden fears

She was impregnated
With an irresponsible boy
They played with life of X-rated
For they thought sex is just a toy

Now, the boy abandoned her
She knew it was unfair
The burden she felt inside
She lost her dignity and pride

The baby had no clue
That soon enough
He or she
Will be aborted out of the blue

She said 'forgive me God'
For she is just depressed and sad
She added 'don't be mad'
'If I will do something this bad'

The guilt she strongly fought
Because she knew it was a sin
But she selfishly thought
The burden she was in

The baby was gone inside her
She was happy and act like she never cared
But the soul of the child hunts her
Now, she began to be scared

A dreams of a crying child
Her fears insanely gone wild
For a life she easily killed
The regrets in her heart was filled

Her soul never felt alive again
Nor the child's life she wanted to regain
What will happen to her life now?
The life she wants back, but how?

With lost of faith in our Lord
And the loneliness she can't afford
She wants to give up her life
So she cuts her wrist with a knife

A second life, she lived
Her family was relieved
But then the boy reappeared
Wanted her back, they concealed

She was a fool once again
For she love the boy in all her sane
But the boy hurts her once again
The Lady was left with all the pain

She thought it was a foolish chance
To live again, it never enhanced
She hang herself up in her room
For she thought her life is doomed

The hanging body of hers
On the floor is a disarrange chairs
The sadness,regrets and pain
It all showed in her face like a pouring rain

What exactly went wrong?
She could just live and ask God for forgiveness
But she gave up the life she could prolong
For she choose to let her heart live
in madness
