The sap oozed from a gnarled tree
as though it was bleeding
on one of its low bowed branches
the rope swung slowly
deep inside the bleak suicide forest
another soul departed
each drawn to this isolated retreat
alone their end to meet!
Nobody could grasp their despair
this was to be journeys end
what had brought them from afar
to this haunted bleak arena
to purposely take their own lives
as if in a replayed ritual
the ghost hunters entered here
sensing all their souls near!
Into the forest all was silent and still
with piety had a mission to fulfill!
