before suicide

" Life is a woman, a beautiful sorceress seducing our hearts, beguiling our spirits, flooding our being with promises. If she is put off, she kills patience within us. If she is faithful, she awakens boredom within us.

Life is a woman bathed in the tears of her lovers and perfumed with the blood of those she kils.

Life is a woman wearing the white robe of day lined with the black of night.

Life is a woman who with pleasure takes the human heart as a lover but rejects it as a husband.

Life is a harlot, but she is beautiful. Whoever sees her harlotry abhors her beauty. "

- Kahlil Gibran-
