Life whispered in my ear.
It isn’t working out.
I drifted from my own life.
And now it takes itself away.
Lost. Displaced. Forgotten.
Life as I knew it ended.
A short click and we separated.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
Forever, life had promised.
Alone. Solitary. Detached.
My purpose gone.
Shattered; pieces uneven.
Only life could comfort me.
But life left me.
Empty. Hollow. Wasted.
Never could it be the same.
It was life or nothing.
My future dismantled.
A disconnected space.
Hurt. Damaged. Broken.
Life will never return.
It told me so.
I wasn’t wanted, loved.
But I had life’s memories.
Torture. Pain. Agony.
Time won’t heal.
For my everything vanished.
Truth turns to lies.
I release to my end.
Misery. Ache. Worry.
I gave life everything.
Life gave back everything.
But life had run its course.
Life whispered in my ear.
