Lights Flicker
Lights flicker off... then on.
They flicker in time of my breathing.
...Exhale- off....Inhale- on....
Exhale- off....Inhale- on...
Doors are closing as i run to them,
Windows shatter as bullets crash through them.
I close my eyes to give a good-bye kiss.
I open my eyes, only sound to be heard is the sound of my ragged breathing.
I'm thinking I'm dead.
But I cannot tell if this is heaven or hell.
Whiteness so pure it must be heaven,
Too much light is blinding me, so I must be in heaven.
But then, I cannot see a thing, and I'm burning up..
So I must be in hell.
I blink.
I'm blinking to try and get sight,
But all i see is white,
I can feel cushions under my ass.
I try to move my arms,
But they're locked by my sides!
Scream! Scream! Scream!
Is all I do!
No ones coming to my rescue!
....Lights flicker off... then on..
The beating of my heart, and the motion of the lights;
Create a rhythm of dance.
... Ba-Bum..off....Ba-Bum..on...
...Ba-Bum..off....Ba-Bum..on...
I close my eyes as a wave of nausea crashes over me,
I open my eyes.
I see color, no more white;
But red.
Movement flows through my arms as I glance down to my open hand,
Lying in my puddle of blood.
Blade.. lying inches away.
Blood seeps through the vein that once flowed like a river under my skin.
Scream! Yell! Cry out in pain!
Can someone please help me?!
I'm dieing! I'm dieing!
Please Lord! Send the Grim Reaper away!
My once crystal floor, now my own crimson bath.
I tear my shirt off to mop what up I've done,
But the shirt becomes drenched within seconds.
... Lights flicker off.. then on..
Black. Then white. Black. Then white.
....Exhale, Black, Ba-Bum, off...
....Inhale, White, Ba-Bum, on...
I stare at the ceiling and come to realize,
I'm on the floor drowning in my blood.
I kiss the devil who waits with open arms..
....Exhale, Black, Ba-Bum........
Off.
