Last Day.

by Poet on the Piano   Aug 4, 2015


Oddly, you're
calming to me.
You are what humanity
fears the most yet
I pray that you hold
me close, silent and
warm, so that I may
leave reality and enter
your collage of dreams.

I have decided.
I am chillingly
comforted.

When the clock
ticks past midnight,
you won't find me
sleeping soundly
in the safety of
my home.

I'll be gone.
I'll be flying.
I'll be in another world.
I'll no longer be
everyone's burden.

My last supper.
My last smile.

My last "I love you"...

    Oddly, you're
    calming to me.

    ^^These opening lines is what made me want to read
    more. There is mystery and at the same time there is a sense of surrender.

    You are what humanity
    fears the most yet
    I pray that you hold
    me close, silent and
    warm, so that I may
    leave reality and enter
    your collage of dreams.

    ^^This part talks from the view point of a soul that is
    about to depart yet there is no fear, rather its acceptance. I've not been able to view death as a"hero" or the person you want to blend in and surrender yourself to. Its a new perspective here!

    I have decided.
    I am chillingly
    comforted.

    ^^I like the breakdown of the last moments as well as the atmosphere which you pull the reader into. For once, the cold is a comfort.

    I'll be gone.
    I'll be flying.
    I'll be in another world.
    I'll no longer be
    everyone's burden.

    ^^For some reason this painted a picture of an angel going away/flying away. This is the very thought every dying person may it be sickness or what wish for-not to be a burden and at the same time leave that very body to free oneself.

    My last supper.
    My last smile.

    My last "I love you"...

    ^^For some reason this end part makes it sound like a suicide note..maybe not. But it brings back memory for me...the last goodbye said, the last meal and smile shared before someone departs. You know its going to happen and that's what makes it even more painful.

    Touching write.
