Death

We might wonder when it is

Is it today, tomorrow or a year from now?

We don't know

But when finally it comes we're scared

but it's already done

It's already here

We just leave without further notice

We just die without so much than a sweet goodbye...

When you left I loved you

While you were gone I screamed; cried

What the hell am I supposed to do

My heart and soul died with you

Am I really just 'pose to let you go

Just move on like its that damn easy

But it's okay, because I'm leaving too

Right now

I slit my throat

I bleed, releasing all my memories

My heartbeat is fading; why is the world going mute

I'm not racing with life

I gasp for air like a fish on a sidewalk

I spot a blinding  light in my peripheral vision; where did it come from

The darkness is dragging me under; enveloping me in a protective cacoon, shielding me from the world

Before I'm completely gone I whisper "I'll see you soon."

My heavy eyelids drift shut

My heart, breath, and mind stop, then freezes in my state of death

I step out of the dead body that I can no longer call me

I feel...free, light as wind; ethereal

I sprint.

Faster than I ever could have before

I stare upward; then I stretch out my arms and glide; I fly to that light, where I know I belong

Before I reach the outskirts

I peer down smiling sadly but happily

A single tear rolls languidly down my right cheek

"Come to me. I miss you." I hear a voice whisper. The voice that I died for

Knowing that he's waiting for me I turn and begin to sprint; never looking back
