the end

into the darkness
as they drag you off the beaten path
you start to shiver,
start to shake,
as the silence slowly overtakes
like the creeping predator.

your life flashes by
you could have done it better,
lived it
you could have done it worse,
ended early
no matter what it ends in a dark laced hearse
the shadows grow
the fog spreads
you’ll fade without warning, slow
without a crying plea, fade
just face the reality
you had your chance to make a difference
face the facts little ghosty,
you’d never survive a second chance.

into the darkness
as they drag you off the beaten path
you start to shiver,
start to shake,
as the darkness finally overtakes
could this be the end, or...
