Let’s Make a Deal

End of a Rope

By Nick QueenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

At the end of a rope

Prayer

Silence answered

Can you take it anymore?

There’s no bottom to this barrel

Not one found

Wife

Family

Happy?

Depressed.

Divorced

Alone

“God please help”

At the end of a rope

Again

Then he’s there

“Let’s make a deal”

The price won’t be missed

Not for a year

A year of life

A kiss to seal

The taste of hell
