We the dead

I grasp at the last straws. My strength fails me. The anger and frustration in my head has simply turned to bewilderment. Was this how it was to be? My end. With my body there still intact. And the lights going off in the recess of my mind slowly. While I struggle to stay awake.

They won after all. They succeeded. In destroying and sullying the sanctity of my mind. Of my values. And as the lights dim and bewilderment turns into astonishment and simply to resignation.

It was complete destruction. Death would have been better. Death would have been but a sweet escape. But alas. It's never to be.

The dying embers twinkly briefly. Before it all goes dark. What did die? - I wonder in those last brief moments. What was it that made me 'me'? But whatever it was... was gone now... There was only silence. There were no more questions. And no need for answers.

The abyss

And you fly off into the abyss-

The starlight
and the stardust.
The wisps and the songs.
Follow you-
Into the abyss

The love
and the hate.
The pains and the aches.
All dissolve-
Into the abyss

The soaring
and the falling.
The screams and the laughter.
All echoes-
Into the abyss

The shines
and the sparkles.
The blood and the sweat.
And the darkness welcomes-
Into the abyss

And hold onto to it.
Finger on your lips.
Into the abyss.
Silence.
Silence.
Into the abyss I go,
Into the abyss.
