I open my eyes to the bright light shimmering through my window...
Squinting and squirmming I roll to my side and block it out.
Another Day.
Where did the night go?
My Dark Sanctuary of Solitude.
Gone...
Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...
Crumbled, wrinkled sheets fall to the ground.
Chipped polished, toenails meet the soft caress of the carpet.
The alarm is relentless...blairing its warning.
"Another Day"
I wince and it causes my heart to skip a beat.
One step closer to death...
Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...
Time.
Stumbling along to the sink.
Hard cold, marble crawling my pale skin.
Who is that girl?
Hmm...I don't know her.
Another Day...
Better get started.
Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...
The soap slips to the floor.
To much suge on my face.
Wouldn't want to get soap in my eyes.
The blairing alarm goes off again.
That shouldn't happen again.
Its not Another Day.
Inhale...
I Live...
The sound creats a resounding pulse in my head.
I must stop it...stop time...stop the alarm...
Where is the towel?
Just a step away...just a step...
Soft cold flesh met the slippery inanimate object...
And I am falling.
Falling to my release.
He's here...
Inhale...
I Live...
Like a bolt of lightening...
The pain traveled from my head to my whole body.
My breath is cut.
Oh, but that feels so good.
I can't breathe...
A scent of rust fills my nostrils.
My eyes darken.
He stands over me...
Beckoning...
Waiting...
Stealing my breath...
The Bliss...
The light...
Is Gone...
Inhale...
Exhale...
I Die..

A little repetitive, but apart from that, the flow works well. The word play increases the style and really draws a beauty to this piece.
Much luck
