Tonight I die

I’m slowly dying,
Burning up from the inside out,
My voice is gone,
I cannot shout,
For help,
Or a quick end,
I have to go through with this torture,
And stay until the last,
Breath has left,
My lungs,
Or the final beat,
Has emptied,
My heart,
Somehow I know,
That I will not,
Escape today,
This will be the last,
Time I cry out,
For help.

Tonight I die.
