Decapitated Dreams

Never again
Shall I pretend
That my life's great and everlasting 
The only thing keeping my heart warm
Left me here
I'm cold
I'm collapsing

My legs are getting stiff
I can't feel up to my knees
Please get me out of this nightmare
Please make this all a dream

The numbness has spread now
It's about mid-chest
Soon I'll rest and feel nothing at all
But I don't want to leave
I try to stand up
But my arms do not work anymore

My neck has gave way
I'm cold and I'm scared
But I then heard you walk in the room
I then got happy
Hoping you would help me....
But you covered my face...
Now i sleep...

Hi Michael welcome to the soup, I like this one as well, if I could suggest that it is not ABC that means you are using the alaphebet in succesion, I would class this as free verse, but I like the journey you take us with it...keep writing...David
