“At the end of life, when the final breath escapes, everything we chased loses meaning.

A single breath takes a lifetime to release—yet still, I wonder:

how many breaths must be drawn and lost before we truly grasp the values that matter in this world?”
Inspired by the quiet truth that visits us when it’s almost too late.
If you feel
Life is a rejection
Just thank god
You just
Escaped from
Life injection! ....
are you still
there?
i noticed
your silence,
villain disguised
as victim
brought to your knees
brandishing
your bloodied hands
as a casualty,
like they aren't
the weapon
like you didn't
walk your greedy
little fingers up
inside my rib cage
and take it all.

"Come, my love," he told me,
"Let's play the piano and dance."

He extended his hand,
And led me softly to the keys.
We sat together side by side.
Fingers intertwined as we played
Our love song.

The music swirled
Soft, sweet, romantic—
A melody that's shared only by our hearts.
Our toes tapped out the beat.
And then he stood up, dancing in the rhythm.

"Follow me, my darling," he grinned,
"Dance with your beloved."

I took his hand.
We danced there in the room.
Weightless, breathless—
Like walking on cloud nine. Our living room turned into a dance hall,

And the moon, our secret witness.

"Dance with me until the dawn breaks," he whispered,

As the room was filled to overflowing with laughter and love, While the piano kept playing.. "Mommy," tugged a little boy on his mother's coat, "Why is that woman playing piano and dancing in the river?"
