Flashback

Swallowing darkness is ahead
One is never prepared
A conclusion lies wake 

Warmth is at your back
They know you cared 
Warmth is fading 
You clench your fists
Grind your teeth
Shut your eyes

“No, this isn’t fine”

“It’s alright, how about….
One last time”

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
