I Did Not Die For Love

I did not die for love;
drinking poison
is tried and trite revenge

Nor for glory; as it were
vile alike virtuous
fallen by the blade

I did not die for lack of hope,
to escape despair,
or absolve a long-stood pain

I think a door shut when I died;
the latches clattered
and I passed on smiling.
