In Strict Confidence The Final Embrace
My dreams fall to the floor
Scattering like rose petals
Disconcerted I watch the merciless tears settle
Upon the unfulfilled dreams like shimmering dewdrops
The diamond misery sparkles up at me
As though suggestion that I surrender myself completely
My eyes widen in disbelief and involuntarily I shake my
head
Fear slashes at me with vicious claws
And I shudder in spite of myself
The sullen darkness slithers closer
Striking at me with ravenous fangs
I feel hope elude me as the last if the light recedes
And I sink to the floor
Landing among the somber remains of once beautiful wishes
As I feel myself slipping away
Realize that this is my end
And remorse rains down on me
Mingling with the sorrow that fills my heart
All is lost forever as the dead blackness enshrouds me
with the final embrace
