My Dark Reverie (Part 3)

*the last installation to My Dark Reverie*

I climbed back up the cliff,
Wishing what I was about to do
Would set things right.
I would take back my life and make it new.

Hoping I would never think of this again.
As I reached the peak,
I took the plunge as I did before.
As I fell again, I felt nothing and tried hard not to speak.

***

I awoke in a room field with bright sunlight.
Realizing I was back in my room,
I then smiled gratefully.
I looked outside the window and flowers were in bloom.

Was I just dreaming,
Or had I been given a second chance?
No matter, it was something I was thankful for.
I could once more sing and dance.

I will go back to sleep,
Knowing that life is good.
I will no longer feel that sadness I felt.
I would just dream sweetly and that I should.

***

The following day, I woke up once more.
Feeling good as ever...
Though to my great dismay I awoke in Death's land,
I cried with regret, my life I shall never get back, never!

I sat on a hill of Death's land,
When I looked up Death, Himself, stood there.
He grinned at me and said,
"You are in Death's land, and here, nothing is fair."
