Love Poem: The Choice of Mercy

The Choice of Mercy

Dripping dripping, the sound resounding
Like echoes abounding
Stronger stronger, louder sounding 
My head is pounding

Throbbing throbbing the pain is increasing
Like a jack hammer never unceasing
Longing longing for the pains decreasing
Too much pain, I need the releasing

Like soft white clouds, floating in the wind
I feel the medication like a comforting friend
Thanks for the help, no hope I could mend
Show thy mercy let my life now transcend

It would be different if in my prime
This was my choice, there is no crime
I’ll patiently wait in a place without time
Until you’ll all join me in a place sublime
