Neverlasting Life

So wonderful the taste

Unimaginable texture it leaves behind

I do so love the metallic aftertaste

Can not wait for the mints to take away my breath 

I can almost feel the taste tearing my throat. 

Does feel good to be able to breath 

Always wanted something worth succeeding 

Life can be sweet depending of course how we choose to chew


Living bitter is jot always a choice nor always optional

I can agree with this as the tablet takes my breath

For too long I held it back but not for long 

Enjoying the sweet taste of my final breath

So exhilarating the aftershock 

Alone in the room as the face goes blue

Very happy to know the pain will soon deplete 

Embracing the metallic taste and the texture of my tastebuds boiling 

Releasing every life memory in just a few seconds watching it flash a million miles

So sweet the afterlife mint which I had chosen feels so wrong yet so did the pain
