Final Call....

The blue liquid went down my throat ….down to my heart and to my coiled intestines. The taste was intoxicating. Gradually, it got mixed in my blood…. I could see my veins turning purple, tears flowed down my eyes….but there was no pain within……My senses were turning numb…… I lied down and gazed at the sky above. The breeze was cool and light…..every time it touched my bosom…..I could feel life parting from me in installments…..The stars above looked bigger and brighter……n then my vision blurred……

A while later when I opened my eyes……I could still see the stars, the radiant moon….and I could see you…..afar…..walking away from me…..I tried to raise my hand and call out……Stop! Do not leave me alone….but my hands ceased…..my voice choked…I lied down motionless…. saline water running down my eyes. But, you halted, you looked back perplexed….I was there on the floor……I wish you saw me....

For the first time I could feel a wrenching pain in my heart. I knew the poison was taking effect. As you turned your back to take your leave, my lips parted…..for the last time I called out your name ….the pain was growing bitter and throbbing…..I knew it was my swan song….my final word…..from far someone seemed to call out my name….Was it you or was it Thanatos? I took a long breath….and closed my eyes….
