Suicide Poem by Thomas Fontenot

What can end this torment?
Encompassed by sadness and depression
The girl of my dreams, that's it
She is with me now, all is well
Time passes, despondency returns

What can end this torment?
Life is dull and gloomy
A new home will bring joy
Stately residence I attain
Brief pleasure, then despair

What can end this torment?
Again disheartened
Perhaps a new craft will suffice
A thriving profession was launched
Upswing, supplanted by hopelessness

What can end this torment?
Immeasurable distress now
Nothing outside quenches
I dare not look inward
unbearable pain, complete defeat

What can end this torment?
The irreversible sacrifice
everlasting annihilation
