Touch of Death

at the doorstep, someone is 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
