The Final Wish
Black wings angled sharp,
With feathers sparkling in the dark.
If I could see Its face
I'd guess there's beauty hiding beneath the mess.
But all I do is feel the pinch
Of a cold breeze, that foul stench
Of all the moments I have lived
And the regrets that came with it,
Of all desires, I have smothered
And all the dreams I never shared.
Because you see, Sweet Tormentor of my despair,
When I had the time, I did not care.
With parched lips, I look for water,
What I wouldn't give to taste once more
That insipid liquid, devoid of color
That is said to infuse life again.
Once I had dreams and aspirations,
Now all I dream is to take a sip.
“Cruel Angel, offering a placid stare,
Do say I have more time to spare.”
“Reap what you sow,” I hear him speak
While he sharpens his sickle to send me into the abyss.
I guess it is time for the harvest,
As I await Death's final kiss.
