The light

The lights flicker
an untimely circumstance
reminding you what you had faced once
knowing what you did to yourself
the gurney pulled
chatter all around you
you bleed
not only from your wrists
but your organs
dripping
spilling your secrets
all over the marbled floor.
what started as an ambition
turns out to be reality.
Those eyes
grogilly
dropping in out of conciousness.
As your mind fades
Into the pit of the dark thoughts it came from
slipping
showing no fear
no remorse
for what you had done

Everypart of your being
Slowing down as you can
hear the last beats of your heart
like an execution drum.
But the light still stays
it still shines
you wonder why
until you hear

"she's back"


and you realise
you're alive
patched up ready to go home
looking back you
hope silebtly to yourself
that it will fade out one day
