A Single DropA Poem by Arizona SkyLong poem. Poison of unknown. Sing drop to kill.A single drop found its way into the deep folds of my heavy jacket. A single drop. That’s all that was needed to set the poison. A single drop seeped through the tiny holes that made the cotton fabric, turning the once brown color to an eerie white. A single glance. That’s all I needed to know it was over. A single glance at the face that held itself in front of me. In that single glance, many emotions were detected. Fear, glee, nervousness, happiness, and the feeling of ultimate power. A single person. A single person was all that was needed to create this weapon. A single person was all that was needed to control it’s power, it’s poison. A single person is all that is needed to destroy the enemy. In that case, the enemy was me. A single breath. A single breath was all that was needed to set the poison. I tried so hard. I tried so hard not to breathe. But it is only human, to have to take even a single breath. A single breath. That’s all I took. And that was it. The one thing that had once kept me alive had now let me go. A single blink. A single blink is all that I could manage before my eyes shut for the last time. During that single blink, I fell. A single blink was all that came before my last glance of the world. A single laugh. A single laugh was all I heard as the world became blank. A vast darkness that never ended. © 2010 Arizona SkyAuthor's Note
