All It Would Take

So easy to just let go... To simply stop the pain and disappear.
One moment of courage, for once in my life.
That's all it would take.
So tempting to simply give it up... No more fighting, no more struggle.
One strong impulse, just one last time.
That's all it would take.
If only I knew what awaited after the journey.
Could I have been wrong about the emptiness?
Could there be a Hell, to punish my sins,
or a Heaven, to reward my good deeds?
Maybe there is a loving creature somewhere beyond,
just waiting to comfort me, to soothe my pain after the end...
That's all it would take.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just what came as I wrote. Not really a poem, but I thought I would post it anyway.
