Last Breath

I hear a voice,
A sound, a tweak
Closer it comes
Sounds so sweet.

I open my eyes,
But their’s nothing to see.
A dim light shining through
Spreading no light to see

Cold floor beneath me,
Spreading a sensation so pure,
Felt as if I was home
N felt for nothing more.

That sweet voice sounded closer
As if traveling through the dark
Like a melody it sounded
And a treat for ears it was.

The light dimmed more,
Inviting night to take over,
And then there was nothing to see,
As the light dimmed lower.

A lost look in the eyes,
A permanent pain that resided in them
Made space for nothing else.
A mind so tangled, so knotted it was
Kept on ripping the soul apart
All it gave was just more pain,
Allow no breaks,
T’was a steady race

A shadow went by, oh that sound again!
What was it I could never guess.
Something crept closer, I could feel it nearer.
I could feel it’s breath, n I could feel it’s touch.

A sudden flash, n a quick movement,
I felt the purest sensation there could be,
Felt life ebbing away,
Flowing like the blood from my throat.
not pain but only joy crept through me,
N spread a slow smile on my lips,
As the last of breaths flew calmly by….
