standing no more

by Antwan Fields - Aries

as i attempt to raise my head after your death blow the pain
closes in and i groan in agony as i mouth one word: you? 
i lie in my blood and wonder at deception as i lower my head yet again and blackness begins to descend, and i begin to cry, wishing that i had not done what i did, wishing that you had not found it easy to pull the trigger, and as i
hear your laughter, weakness closes in, and i cannot use my arms anymore as pain flashes through me, burning and slowly ending my existance, and the tears i weep depletes my life force until i am on the edge, and then i hear you say with laughter 
"you should not have come, you should not have stayed
you should not have followed me, you should have given up"
i reach, but my hands touch nothing 
and my vision begins to slowly whiten i drop my head and the
end comes, and the pain slowly lessens until i am standing again. then i realize this is my soul, i am dead, and my human form is standing no more.
