Afterlife

 Once, just for once, imagine if this is the other side.

The heaven or hell you dreaded, 

A place you believed to exist (or not) 

Because your faith said, 

There was something good beyond.

A reward for your virtues, a punishment for your sins. 

What if it's just this, your world of good and bad? 

No other repercussion of your actions exists.

What if this is the place and you don't know it yet?

It just gets worse and worst, doesn't it?

That place you thought of often, 

Your perfect parallel universe, 

A loop of the same lives. 

The seeking doesn't end.

Then, what is the meaning of life?

Is it just to reach the end?

You keep asking, till you can't anymore. 

Your head feels light,

Everything is meaningless. 

Silence fills the void; nobody answers.
