Was gasping
For my last breath
My whole body
Was contracting
To strain
A little more
O-x-y-g-e-n
Out of air
So thick
Veins puffed up
With co2
Lungs almost collapsed
Muscles cramped

B-l-a-c-k o-u-t

Only memories
Moved about
Like little dots
Like fireflies
Over a dark canopy

Little drops of rain
On rose petals
Yellow full moon
Wrapped in clouds
Green green trees
Up to the horizon
Flower beds
peopled with
Busy bees bumbling
Intimate touches
Beloved
Food
Colour
Smell
Music
Rain
Friends
Family
Neighbors
All became the little dots
That drew up a circle
So perfect
So dear
Life that seemed once
Nothing but a nuisance
Nonsense
'A tale told by an idiot'
Seemed so full
Happy and blissful

I asked death,
"Please don't disturb
My dreams"
