Departure

Hold your breath A silent presence Tapping at your sick mind Throbbing eyes And wretched coughs Reality no longer All you can hear Is the voice that calls your name At the edge of sleep Jolting awake Heart bashing in your ears Hold your breath Till your lungs bleed Reaching for your throat Invisible Your freezing fate envelops you Leaving you pale and sick Eyes rolling about Hold your breath With wounds gushing Blood spilling about the floor In patterns of hate and sorrow Spelling out life Which is just a big joke Hold your breath Till the soul departs From its shelter To find paradise Or just another blank sheet
