| "Just Another Day" Dark clouds roll in turning my world to black. Life is taken in an instant. As I stand morbidly still, I hold the limp body in my hand. Death is so close, I can feel his breath on my face as he laughs at my pain and misery. Tears roll down my face, he does not wipe them away. Rather he collects them as a symbol of the job he has completed. Time drifts slowly by The fingers clamped around my neck seem to be loosing their grip. The storm in my mind comes and goes without warning. With every breath, With every step, memories bring a wave of happiness and pain that washes over and consumes me. Death is a mystery - a gray patch in a world of black and white. My eyes are swollen red lumps of raw pain. My vision is clouded and my head in a haze. As the busy world rushes by, they carry on without a glance. Never questioning life, never sparing a second to think of the person beside them. Never realizing the pain, torture, and despair that lies just outside their beautiful front door. - Jodie Renae |
