The only reason killing yourself is a sin, is because your beating God at his own game.

A bed of red
all but dead
stand in earth alone.

A kiss they give
to those who live
and turn their breath to bones.

A day will come
when all is done
and we no longer live.

In that day
the rose will sway
and no longer have a kiss to give.
