Shadows of Death
Wandering through endless darkness.
Deep despair only brings you down.
The visions of what was...haunt you.
The thoughts of what will never be
only torment upon your mind.
Echoes of the violent sounds
penetrate through to your core.
The wind that blows cold,
sends a chill tight through
straight to your heart.
You find yourself alone and beaten
trapped within a wall of misery.
The pain that invades your body
a self inflicted wound.
Your ragged and torn clothes
crimson in color from your own blood.
The filth that colors your body,
entraps your mind.
Your screams into the shallow night
fail to make all this fade away.
You close your eyes to hide it all away.
Hoping to delay what seems inevitable.
Staggering and weakened you fall
down upon your knees.
Begging and pleading for the life
that you once thought you knew.
As you breathe in your last breath,
feeling the cold sensation of death upon you.
Realizing what lies before you.
You say to yourself...."I'm dying..."

wow this is very emotional... you feel the pain in the person that is dying and the person knows they are... that probably makes the mental pain even far worse than the physical.. great write^.^
