RELIEF?

By Ruth Guest

ree

Sinking

into blackness.

The deep.

Dragging and pulling

Drawing

me inside

 

Glassy white flesh,

Bloodless.

Icy cold

Emptiness

The abyss

A void

 

Senses ceasing

Breath stalling

Eyes close

Numb, emotionless

Life given out

Extinguished

 

It is gone

Done

Over

At rest

Expired

At peace?
