One Last Breath

One Last Breath

A Poem by Hello, Goodbye
"

...one last breath as death takes life's place..

"
A stranger walks in the night. 
Up to me, pulls out a knife. 

Before my mind streams a light. 
Before my heart a flash of life. 

Against a wall (sadly) I am trapped. 
The knife is penetrated inside of my fleeing back. 

A scream of terror escapes my mouth. 
Life giving death all of its clout. 

Pain that is impossible to believe. 
But not the blood running down my sleeve. 

I turn and stare at a strangers face. 
A blank expression that is not fazed. 

He then uses his knife in creative ways. 
Making sure that I will have no more days. 

My cries are muffled by its laughter. 
Stabbing deep.. faster and faster. 

My body, it now starts to tremble. 
A horrific pain inside of my temple. 

The lungs in my chest, no longer move. 
The beats of my heart, they take their last cue. 

Into my head, my eyes roll back. 
Darkness then... starts to attack. 

In a sudden shock, my eyes open wide. 
I now see a turning fan, up high. 

All around, light now starts to stream. 
Its not heaven. 

It was all a dream.
