Untimely Death Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tonight I have given up life, no longer being found on
this horizon or any other.

Silenced by the untimely death of innocence, betrayed
by a husband of abuse, feckless, dishonest, untruthful,
a pitiful creature to behold.

On the verge of a new destiny, outside of this world,
able at last to see some peace in the future.

Calmed by the effect this has, reaching out and dying
for it, unafraid of losing hold of life, gladdened by
it's frightful fall to death.
