'For a brief moment, my heart caught in my throat as your name leaped at me from the screen. Joy surged through me as my heart missed a beat. For one moment, I truly thought that it was all coming true. Then cruel dismay washed over me, as I realise it is not you. Anger, fierce and dark, rises within me, as you've made me face the reality of my feelings, how hopelessly my heart is caught in yours. And there is nothing I can do.'
blaque stepped into the dark at 11:41 PM!
me
I stare up at the pure white ceiling
fans whirring softly
A deathly silence in the room
Fear grips me by the throat
As I watch Death slowly glide
My wrinkled hand grips the bedsheet
As I begin a silent litany of prayer
He glides past the sleeping child
in the opposite bed
past the lady gazing listlessly towards the window
I struggle to breathe
Strange wheezing noises
The demons within me rage
Wreaking havoc
As my feeble heart sputters and chokes
My eyes close in pain
Flying open
In shocked remembrance
To see
His dark hand reach for me
Wishlist.
