Three Minutes to Darkness


It was a few minutes, no more
Leaving a mind and heart sore
The force at its most extreme
For the pride to remain supreme
Never would humanity believe
What those in the soul leave…
Until you feel yourself giving in
Feeling your strength failing
You beg, starting pleading
Your hand around his wrist
In your head your thoughts twist
A final fight for survival
How is this happening at all?
The air sour stings your lungs
In his eyes your love suddenly is hung
You kick, you struggle to no avail             
After you no one to recount the tale
Around your neck his strong fingers
His eyes burning full of pure anger
Then suddenly your thoughts dims
Still in his eyes the rage gleams
The light switches off so slowly
Until there nothing left for you to see
As your body gives in to total emptiness
There’s nothing left for you to confess
Deep darkness as you slowly sink in
Today for you there will be no winning….
