Hold me close now

Next to your heart

I can feel it beating Inside of my hand

Your pulse is feeding me deep inside these veins

My stomach churns as you enter me

The poison creeps, killing the tissue

Skin turns grey

Ashy and bluish

Lips get stiff

Pale and are cracking

Chest is heavy

Shallow and slowing

Eyes clouding up

Lids are closing

You think of your kids

Maybe your mother

You’re dying slowly

Just a few breaths more

And you will see

Who was right about eternity
