Thoughts Like Lightening; He's The Death of Me

by ABake   Aug 2, 2008


Thoughts run through my mind; I need to make them stop,
like lightning, they are here one minute gone the next...
My heart races as the inevitable tears begin to fall;
Thousands of words sit upon my tongue, I open my mouth-
I struggle to fill my lungs with oxygen [Breathe, Just Breathe]

Terrified to open my eyes, I move my shaking hands slowly--
Touching and caressing every surface, where exactly am I?
My anxiety builds as I open my left eye slowly-- Black.
Settle I tell my frightened heart, but it's a little late for that...
Then I start to feel it-- The piercing pain attacking my body.
I tried to remain strong and stand; as always I am weak.

I fall to my knees and break down, I'm not sure whether it's,
the physical pain or the heartbreak causing me to scream...
Still trying to catch a breath-- Feels as if I am inhaling glass,
little shards of glass; I feel the warmth of blood somewhere.
I have never seen him so angry; I shudder at the remembrance of the wild look in his dark eyes...

My mind is fighting to stay alive, but my heart gives in.
I always told him he would someday be the death of me...
