Hello, old friend...
I know it's been too long since I've last written.
I've been lost between the worlds of my brain and reality.
My body is a watery tomb filled with disparity.
I missed the currents to clairty and got caught in the tidal waves that severely injured me.
Time awoke me.
The snooze button was a mere mirage of hope to lead me back here to the bathroom floor.
The red hand prints scattered as they attempted to reach the door.
Sometimes, I think I'm so close until I realize you're too far ahead to hold...
I stole an anxious breath before I choked.
I saw the face of death and listened as he spoke.
Looking deep into his eyes as I caught a glimpse of the other side.
I noticed the warmth leaving my heart as the icy touch moved me.
My arms fell open as I welcomed him to my fate.
I knew my time was near;
Death was never late.
All became calm...
No more concerns, no more light.
Death took one last look at me before he sighed.
Pushing me back into my life.
It all came rushing back as my eyes opened.
My limbs stiff and pain burned heavily in my mind.
Why did the door open?
Why did I have to live, if I was only meant to die.
