Doctors Permission

Frozen in the darkness silence peacefully shrouds me hoping that I am breathless, praying he wont see, this sublime sorrow I am gasping in the pain swallowing bitter tears seconds from insane. Defining the emotion each and every time trying not to echo, balancing on the line, silence is a killer but not my reason to die hearing in this deafness will always make me cry. The shadows over take me, speak the unspoken curse just as well I am dying can't bear to smell this hearse. Weighed down by lost tomorrows my memory finally broke, why is it always my own hands gripped to make me choke? His hug comforts my stomach blindly in his sleep not knowing in this darkness my eyes can't help but weep, obscurity plays around me tries to steal my breath every time I close my eyes I know I’m close to death. Panic underestimates the power the black withholds carving me so gently, painless as it moulds I sweat out my reaction cause words can't find a voice, helplessly devoted to lay I have no choice. Everything suffocates can't bear to close my eyes repeated optimism as I see how everyone dies, my mind is there to haunt me it never gives me peace all the pills digested at will, still wont make it cease. Night is a blur now confused by chemical reaction convulsions rage as death excels performing its extraction, in the mix I see his face traumatised by my choice, it's made but time has gone his actions futile as sight begins to fade, regret stabs flesh repentantly too late to change effect I know he’ll cry forever at his failure to correct. My selfish, vengeful actions will speak louder than my word he never seen the suicide…do you think he finally heard?
