What is this?

Leaving here hopefully will be as peaceful

What is this?

 

Dusk creeps through the blinds

 

Like soot from a brush fire

 

My body feels lighter

 

No longer do I hurt

 

But I am so very tired

 

Why won’t they let me be

 

Offering me food and drink

 

No longer do I want these things

 

The smell, sickly sweet

 

Pervades the room

 

As darkness swells

 

I’m losing touch with this place

 

I wish I could tell these concerned faces

 

That I am alright, it’s ok

 

It’s so very quiet

 

I’m just going to close my eyes

 

It’s my time

i'm sorry that it was such a difficult event that generated such a good poem...you're right, there are never enough words for expressing properly the grief of losing a loved one.

The absolute dread of being stuck in a hate grip with the coffin door shut pulverizes the breath of this thing. I felt like I was drowning. This is truth to the next tower.
Being bothered by fucktarded peopl ewhen you want to mope and take in the hurt is something that most wish for and never get.
You took me to a dark place you evil Dr. Dread,

It dripped with sadness.

good work
