Sacrifice For Autumn
Your arms wrap around me,
Keeping me warm like a blanket.
My hands freeze like ice.
I don't know why it's so cold.
Heart beat slowing...
I feel...calm...
I'm too cold,
Too numb,
To feel your blanket warmth anymore.
To feel your presence.
I see the anxiety in your eyes.
I want to reach out,
Touch your face.
"Everything will be alright."
But I can't will my lips to move.
It pains you to see my last smile I wear now.
Tears cascade down your face,
Falling on my cheeks,
Looking like diamonds once they freeze.
Ripping my gaze away from your summer sky eyes,
I stare at the tree above your head.
I'll be gone when the last leaf falls.
Not being able to feel the chill as it bites my flesh,
I'm quite content.
Wasn't this how life should have started?
I feel like death should be the beginning,
Not the end.
Right on time,
My heart belts out its last thump.
The last leaf falls,
Landing beside my head.
Not the end.
Keeping me warm like a blanket.
My hands freeze like ice.
I don't know why it's so cold.
Heart beat slowing...
I feel...calm...
I'm too cold,
Too numb,
To feel your blanket warmth anymore.
To feel your presence.
I see the anxiety in your eyes.
I want to reach out,
Touch your face.
"Everything will be alright."
But I can't will my lips to move.
It pains you to see my last smile I wear now.
Tears cascade down your face,
Falling on my cheeks,
Looking like diamonds once they freeze.
Ripping my gaze away from your summer sky eyes,
I stare at the tree above your head.
I'll be gone when the last leaf falls.
Not being able to feel the chill as it bites my flesh,
I'm quite content.
Wasn't this how life should have started?
I feel like death should be the beginning,
Not the end.
Right on time,
My heart belts out its last thump.
The last leaf falls,
Landing beside my head.
Not the end.
