Purgatory

Purgatory

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I felt my last heartbeat

Took my last breath

Then the scream came

My soul no longer belonged to me

Wearing her black robes

She lowered herself from her horse

The Banshee came to collect me

She never spoke, not a single word

But I knew that I had to go

Where I had to go was her decision

She dumped me at the door to the afterlife

I heard family and friends calling from above

Family and friends calling from below

She left me to rot in the land of Purgatory

Her decision and her law without appeal

So, I guess I found my new home

At least for all eternity
