He lets it get darker.
As each sin begins
to cave in his skin,
he feels the death
of another friend.
Then the passing
of treasured kin.
The ground collapses
and he descends
to face the final
stage,
and rage against
that awful fate.
Streetlights go dim,
and a warm wind
starts chillin.
The sidewalks cracks,
and after that
the sounds of animal paws
and raven caws
ceases.
People stop speaking,
and he starts seeking
any redemption
to prevent him
from facing
that creepy sleep thing.
Not a bright light
or a dark scythe
cloaked guy
flies by.
It is just a light drip
like a leaking drain
with no pain
that that slows him
down.
The chasm calls,
blackish blue
and glittering pool
of infinite reflection.
The liquid is cool
as he slips and falls in
not quite drowning
but losing the outer edges
of conscious thought.
Foot, then up to his knee,
and he can see
sparkles firing lines
of lightning
sparking then fading,
Up to his but
then pass his gut
as each little light dies.
Lead heavy eyes
still crack red and dry,
as the murky water
gently summons him
to fall in.
One last breath,
then his mouth and nose
goes under as well,
followed by his hazel eyes,
and ***** brown hair.
The he sinks
no more thoughts to think
after he drinks
a little bit of this liquid,
and ceases to respire.
Instead, he expires
and his body
falls slowly disintegrating
in the space of eternity
