Death, screaming whispers through my ear
The loud silence as I felt every nerve in my body let go
With every heartbeat, it came nearer and nearer
With every breath, I lay engulfed in woe
Helpless now, helpless then
They say life is just a game
But life is the player
We're the game.
The world became a blur, nothing mattered now
Neither wealth, nor poverty
All those unfulfilled dreams assigned for the future
Were all gone, in a heartbeat.
Now floating near the gates of death,
Life repeated itself before my eyes
Presenting thousands of memories within a heartbeat
I watched as I had to
The laughter of my beloved daughters
Like foam-crested waves fading away
Screaming in delight as the ocean carried her away
Felt their tears slide through their cheeks
And drop on my hands
Like precious little raindrops, falling from the heavens
Memories, powerful to make me smile even then
As I watched myself evaporate in the wake of defeat
The last I remember, were the blinking red lights and screeching sirens
Panicked faces and nurses hovering upon my body
But I knew, I was destined to die
And so I did
And it all happened within a heartbeat.
