A Finishing Blow

*Glass missions shut down

Window panes panged by enlarged stones

Thrown away Creep away*

 

**The last feeling I will ever have

The last movement I will ever take

The last time I close my eyes**

 

The last breath will be my dying respire

 

*The last time I hold you in my arms

The last movement in the wrong direction

The last feeling that will ever be taken*

 

**The last course of action is to be broken

The last amendment to testify

The last strike I take will be my end

The last bout will place me on a cold ****** slab

The last words I utter under my gasp of air**

 

The last time I look onward over the land of mishap

 

*The last words I write for all to recite

The last bout with anyone will be taken at nightfall

The last strike I set forth with, I will go away quietly

The last amendment read at my funeral

The last course I set out upon*

 

**The last eye opener will be a tear jerker

The last recourse of time will be split into many pieces

The last steps I take will be down an avenue of misguided youth

The last judgment will be passed, declaring my insanity

The last pardon from anyone given to my every whim**

 

The last given right will strike me in a peculiar way

 

*The last pardon from any courtship round table

The last judgment will over rule my pride and prejudice

The last steps I take will be my first steps rerouted

The last recourse spread upon the land that holds me dear

The last eye opener will be shutting the light onto this empty life*

 

**The last time I throw stones at glass palaces to see if it will shatter

The last shattering moment was my first mistake unlearnt from

The last time I go off the deep end without a life jacket**

 

*Never tread the waters alone

Understand you are never alone

Trust those who fill your heart

Believe in you came into this alone, no reason to go out on your own*
