The Flicker and Ticker

The clouds shift in the pale gray sky.

I look up at it.

Rain slowly pours.

The rain spills across my face.

I look straight forward on the

empty street.

Streetlights are dim, they flicker on and off.

Like life. It turns on, and when time comes.

It shuts off.

I take a step into a road.

Headlights are coming at me.

It doesn't stop. I get hit.

I can feel the pain in my head.

Blood spills from it.

My vision is blurred.

My blood washes into a storm drain.

No one is around to save me.

I look up at the light, it dimmers faster and faster.

I look at the clock at the corner.

It seems to tick faster, as my lonely life is slowly leaving me.

If I die here, I can finally be with you.

I stare at the light once more.

It finally flickers off.

I look at the clock  5 seconds until midnight.

5...4...3...2...1...

and I'm gone from this world.

But at least, I am at peace in heaven.

With the one and only person I want to spend time with.

I can finally be at..

Peace.
