My Moment

by amber   Mar 19, 2008


At one moment I sit and I listen to my heartbeat. Its beat is my breath. My life. My one moment to be here.
At one momenti sit and close my eyes. Darkness is behind my lids. I panic. And in a moment, I open my eyes.
At one moment....I sit and taste the air. I taste poison. I cringe. My one moment to taste life.
At one momentI smell the morning dew. It reeks of death. I do not smell anymore. My one moment to smell life.
At one moment..I feel the earth. It feels of stone and dirt. It hurts me. I do not feel. My one moment to take life by the hands.

The moment I listen to my heart is the moment it stops beating. It dies for you because you take life from me.
The moment I close my eyes is the moment when youve left me and left nothing but darkness accompanies me.
The moment I taste the air is the moment I taste the lies youve told that Ive been subjected to and it is bittersweet.
The moment I smell the morning dew is the moment when I realize Ive died and morning is something that was once familiar to me.
The moment I touch the earth is the moment when I realize that you have killed my soul and taken it away. Leaving my body hostage to this cruel in habitual place that we call earth.

My moment to experience a beautiful life and you take it from me. My moment to take life by the hands and you cut them off.

    Amber, this is such a deep, mysterious piece. The way you have described so many 'moments', it is intriguing me as to what sequence of moments you are referring to. I love the fact that it makes me wonder its meaning. Is it a relationship, is it life through to death, or maybe some addiction, who knows? Well, you do of course, please tell!!

    5/5
