Human Death II
Yielding to complete darkness
Welcoming total death
blood flows from my neck
into the open mouth of him
the charming, unnatural beauty
with his unreal, pale skin
his irresistibly, ice blue eyes
and his hair, as black as ebony
crimson blood leaves a trail down his chin and my back
he takes his time
killing me slowly
drawing my life into his mouth
for his life
killing to live or dieing for life
he calms me with his mind
telling me it's going to be alright
telling me not to be afraid
it's irresistibly calming
yet fear rises like fire
through my stomach
into my mind
my face flushes as my heart pumps faster
trying to save my life
oh, so trying to save my life
but at last
he pulls back from my neck
I cannot move once more
and once again
I look into his eyes
they are filled with
sadness, despair, and anger
he quickly drew out a knife
and placed it against
the flesh of my neck
loosely
yet with hard pressure
"Do you choose death
or eternal life
and secrecy?"
he asks solemnly
"No more of the
suns rays
no more substantially tasteful foods,
no more living a true life."
I sat there blinking
eyes filled with a stream
full of tears
"I choose eternal life"
I said bravely, flinching
as I felt the knife
pushed further
into my flesh
"I'm just afraid you can't have it,
I just can't cause someone this pain"
he said, his voice full of tears
as he pushed the knife
further upon my throat
and slid over
with all the pressure
continuously upon the deadly blade
shock
coursed through my veins
as my crimson blood and life
spilled into my pale, weak hands
I fell onto my back
and looked at him
his eyes were wide
and showed as much
shock as I felt
he fell to his
knees next to me
leaning over me
crying blood tears
onto my white shirt
I felt my life
leaving me too quickly
through my open wounds
we cried tears together
he cried blood
and I cried salt
he cried red
I cried clear
"I didn't mean
for this to happen"
he said
blood tears flooding
down his beautiful
pale face
My heart struggled to
beat for life
for the last
few times
I grasped his hands
in mine
covered in blood
and looked up
into his
beautiful eyes
one last time
"I forgive you"
I breathed to him
as I choked on
crimson life and blood
I paled till I
looked as white
as chalk
as I slowly passed
into the dead world
of the unknown.
