SLOW DEATH
I watch my life flicker in the reddish flame,
My mind wanders as death takes its dark toll,
In desolation, my ears hear a call,
A laugh...derisive, mocking, and untamed.
My meaningless life, death struggles to claim;
Ever so slowly, I feel my body fall;
In endless torment, as time slows to a crawl;
At that time, it was me that death became.
I hear your laughter in the distance
As you come to slit my throat with your knife,
I'm in pain, and my death you surely crave.
With my last breath, I say my last utterance,
And I tell you, "Remember me in life,
For in death I will haunt you to your grave."
