It hung from the gallows 

maniacal in mind;

a noose to your neck. 

 

You had not forgotten,

though you never mentioned;

the silent burden, weighing heavy.

 

The way bell tolled,

with the beat of your heart;

that gave no forgiveness. 

 

With an edge to  your voice;

you dragged yourself down.

Into the fathoms deep

 

With soul searching eyes 

and questioning mouth;

to where, grim faces hide. 

 

You slide from the light;

to a void from the world. 

Into the depths,you depart
