The Deadly Venom Sleep

The deadly venom
  crept  through my veins
The world started to drain away
  I laid there going insane
 
Insane was my thought of the ones I would lose
  Crying out for my loved ones
If I could chose
  All the different things I would do
 
Sub coming to the poison in my body
  feeling my  body rotting from the inside
My mind couldn't understand I was dying
  My soul inside crying
 
I closed my eyes
  without saying  goodbye
in hopes that my soul would rise
 Returning to grace
Where I would gain
the acceptance of the one who called me sane

Drifting down into a deeper sleep
  Where I heard him speak
Peace be still
  At that moment I could feel
the peace and serenity most seeks
  When I fell into the deadly venom sleep

John Lawless Date: 8/29/2015 3:20:00 PM April, this leaves open the troubling question....what is/was the deadly venom to bring on such sleep? Intriguing write as it brings us to the edge and seemingly denies us a look into the pit. Login to Reply April Walter Skyy Date: 8/29/2015 3:46:00 PM It is open.It could be a lot of different things. Now what comes to your mind???
