Thread: Last Words

I lay on my bed
Face white as sheet,
Pale as bleach.

I suffer immense pain
Those from hell can only imagine

I cannot utter a single word
But I desperately needed to scream
I feel sleepy
For I have not slept in days
As I’m afraid of the dark

I often see white figures in my dreams
Calling me,
They are all waiting for me on the other side
Where everything is cold and dark

Hours, minute, second
Time don’t matter to me now
While I desperately cling on to life
The more it seems to slip away

I know that they will not come
“They” who are once my family
They do not feel any remorse
As they watch me struggle hopelessly
They stare at me with their cold eyes
Piercing into my fragile heart

I don’t understand
We were once a happy family
Time drowned my past
Forcing me to forget those precious moments

But before I go,
Before I give in,
I need you to know something
You, who once cared for me.

Life is precious
You must learn to appreciate it
Cherish every moment you have as if it’s your last
Life comes once and only once.

Now, as the sun rise
And the birds sing
I can see them ever so clearly
My time has come to move on
I take my final breath
And go…
