Ode to a suicide

She took her life through loss of love,
She lost her partner's favour,
She stops at Heaven's gate above,
Lord, said you, love thy neighbour,
Forgive her Lord, she was so weak,
Don't send her to damnation,
You spare the gentle and the meek,
Pray give her your salvation.

Poem by Charlie Barker
