Twilight FixationA Poem by NickjohnsonMy friend recently attempted suicide and this is my idea of what could have gone through his head at the time.I’m drawn to a blackened sky as I’m turned blue. Coolness fading into me, If you had shown me a smile, Perhaps I wouldn’t be this weak. My twilight dreams are fixations on rising with The ever increasing speed of an angelic chorus, This, like me is all make believe. Believe me, I don’t want to die tonight; Should I wait, there is nothing more I can do? Should I rise, rise and return from the ashes? I am asphyxiating on words I want to say, But this blackened sky has me entranced. If I escape now, if I wanted to, would you give me a second chance? I say not. I’ll take this last breath of your airy disappointment And plunge my head in the sea in front of me. Changing colors, I hope you see how this rainbow could have lit up the night sky so beautifully for you. © 2008 NickjohnsonAuthor's Note
