ONE LAST TIME

i have come here
for one last time
and this is all
what i have, said he.

with the distant shimmering lights
i saw his frail and swooning figure
and heard his unaccented heavy voice,
the pain he bore in the days of yore.

i looked towards the ground
as my feet became heavy
and i could sense the same fright,
the horror of my previous life.

my senses went numb
as my body grew stiff,
and pain became unbearable
i tried to break away.

last time i stared at him
into those dark yearning eyes
and i slowly receded into the
endless black of that fearful night.
