JUST TO END THE PAIN...

by ajinkya

Silently he wept
Dying a silent death
Dying yet not dead
Alive yet lifeless
The soul still lay trapped in him
The disease wanting to decay him a little more

all of 20 he is
surrounded by friends and a foe
they don't want him to go
Besides him sits his best friend
Weeping no tear
But wiping all he can
He know's what his friend suffers from
But his suffering he does not know.

Friends come and go
Kin and cousins visit him too
All go but best friend stays
To see him suffer
But he wonders when will this plight end
Asks God "are you so cruel?"
"Then cruel let me be"

And then he did it…
He killed his friend
And finally he wept at his bedside
"forgive me God,for this act of sin
In heaven I may not get a place
So put me in hell
Where for my acts I shall redeem"
But when I am up there
For once
Only once
Make me meet my friend…
For I just want to ask him
"does it still pain or did I make it end?"
