one last breath mechanical breathing keeps old souls living they are lost inside themselves not responding to any outside thier stmuli not regarding anything outside thier minds. the raspy exhalations slowly lower a chest that houses an again heart. are they ready for an end? and end of days and nights unrecognized. a shadow now patrols these halls covering the fluerescent lights with misty grays. this figure has a hideous form to some, but to others it appears to be a saviour. it slips in and out of rooms quickly for its task takes only a moment to complete. if only this master of death would have vacated my room long ago, but it has made itself comfortable, watching my life drip away like the constant drizzle out my death ward window. ive been slipping under the influence of the morbid drugs that im prescribed. these words you speak to me now are so cunning, is your deathly friend promping you? he whispers as you scream he strangles me while your eyes gleam. my time is fianlly coming, after all these years its my turn. i take one last breath...... and im released now im alone, but not lonely like before |

Well the first kick I can think of is maybe you should check your spelling. lol. Other than that your work is pretty good. You didn't confine yourself to a prison type of rhyme scheme, and you didn't just reapeat the same thing in different ways. All in all good poem. GIS Closed will remain closed until opened. |

This is why I don't like hospitals, and yet I'm going to work in one. I think I'm trying, [in a small way], to put a chink in the armor of the grim reapers task. Maybe I won't stop it, but slow the process, and help a little with a better quality of life. It's for sure prevention beats the alternative. Very much a creepy feeling, but good at that you were in this write. I love reading your writes. Mucho amazing you are to read!!! WOW! and WOW! Love, Terri~ p.s. The spelling errors did nothing to deter me from totally enjoying this write and want to come back for more. It's the thoughts behind the write that spring from what must be TALENT!!!!!!!!!!
