It was then, I felt it.
Darkness overcame,
and no light seeped through.
All sound was drowned out, 
all hell was let in.
Gasping,
I searched for air. 
But that too had been tainted.
Lungs crumbling in, 
thuds coming fewer, 
poison pulsed heavily in mind. 
I said my goodbyes, 
Hands wavering in the air,
fingers clutching at nothing.
Nothing to hold, nothing to grab. 
I let go.
So then I went.  
Silently floating, drifting nowhere.
My soul hopelessly quiet,
hopelessly dead.
