Here I stand with the scratchy rope around my neck and binding my wrists. The tears have stopped, it's no use crying anymore. Those who have accused me have no mercy in their souls for someone like me.

As the pastor preaches the words of the Apostles, my eye gaze past the crowd of masses that have formed and look towards the green hills. The sun starts coming out from the clouds, birds start to sing, and the fear inside has disappeared.

Then I look back at the crowd and stare at those who have accused me just as the man in black, one by one, hangs the others. I focus on one person right up until the man in black came to me and I hung there, dangling, feeling the life slip slowly away and peace coming over my body.

I saw his eyes as he watched me die. The I one that I had loved, and would love for all time. As the dark of death came I saw Her at his side. She did this to me. May God have mercy on her soul.

This was really good. I liked it but very sad. If this is from a personal experience....not that you've been hanged literally....but rather betrayed by a woman, then sorry.
GReat job on it though!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
