Assisted Suicide

I scream into the dead of night, seeking answers from echoes lost alone in darkened silence,
Though I came here with every intention of stealing one last selfish moment for myself.
But I missed that chance as my own breathing unexpectedly began to slow and briefly come to a stop.
Memories now set out to consume me,
Slowly,
Following each and every shallow gasp.
This air is piercing the skin that�s portrayed itself as remains of my rotting flesh.
Calming bites of burning winds now subside to blowing quiet whispers
And all at once
Everything I feel blends in with the obscurity of my surroundings.
I lay down to watch for moment just as my vision�s beginning to blur to another shade of grey
Fading out, and all the while I�m still killing myself to fall away for an eternity.
Everything�s falling into perfect accord without the slightest hesitation
Deep and sharp
In tune with my heart as I borrow one last breath which never belonged to me-
It leaves in me a bitter taste of words sounding cold and stale, so I just let them cut the life that kept filling up these lungs.
The pain was meant to make a simple death quick..
But I know I deserved so much less.
