My love, slowly fading away in my eyes,
her bright blue ominous eyes, getting less threatening,
slowly, the color washes away from her beautiful face,
drowning in a mass of confusion.
Water, slowly trickling down my parched lips,
landing on my dry bed in a “Splash!”
Colors, all around me, like a loved scent that you could never turn from,
skillfully drifting away in the dark shadows.
“Call back,” I say, with no conviction in my voice,
but the beautiful bright colors that once used to overwhelm me with pride,
are now black and dusty like a dark cavern.
My eyelids flutter closed slowly and soundly,
all my precious items disappearing in my view,
drifting back behind my socket.
My heart, strumming its last beat, like a guitar strumming its last note,
and then finally stops with a drums final beat.
My life has slowly slithered away from me,
and everything I cared for has
vanished.
