Touch of Death
At the doorstep, someones beckoning me.
Am being pulled into a deep void.
Pitch dark with an eerie aura.
Plagued by darkness I stumble forward
oh where are you my friend?Time!
your absence drives me mad.
the mere thought of life seems like an elixir.
Am parched like a barren desert,
running, running, running without any direction.
Overflowing with tears amidst the barren desert.
I wail as ghouls goad me
my whole body numb,
I crouch and quiver, in
in thoughts of my evil memories. Suddenly
I feel the sun glaring on my face;
to wake up in the hands of my neighbor.
I hug him like its the end of the world.
Joy i never knew gushed out
in leaps and bounds.
Ah! silly me, electrocuted by the doorbell
yet happy to cheat death
for even a single day on earth
