Drops of rain

Trickle down the glass

 

As I wait

For the hours to pass

 

"End the pain,"

They seem to ask

 

To see the Gate:

My final task

 

A gloomy Sunday,

As always, it seems

 

It'll all be over Someday,

I dream

 

I wonder what the raindrops would look like red?

I wonder if they would care if I were dead?

The author's comments:

Inspired somewhat by what has been called the "Hungarian Suicide Song," or "Gloomy Sunday,"

this brief work is about a man suffering from delusions, and suicidal thoughts as he daydreams about his end.
