The Sweet Release

Long, dark, and narrow

Comes the road ahead

Silent, cold, and still

The air, has never been thinner

​

Reality began to sink in

Crushing, the weight it bears

Every breath was a gift

Each one, shorter than the last

​

Come, as it was invited

Surrounding me, lacking hesitation.

Burying light, consuming it.

Promising peace

​

The melody it sung

A dance, the last to be

Memories began to fade

A final breath, at long last.
