Final Release

Press the blade down
against your delicate skin
hard.

pull back, slice
watch the blood as it flows
freely.

laying helpless
the blood slowly pools
around.

choking, downing
in your seeping life-force
fading.

drowsy, heavy
your eyes begin to close
forever

drifting, falling
away from the light, to the end, now you see....
darkness

release, let go
time to end the fight, you suffer no more
death
