i can breath again now
betrayed by a friend to the enemy
the enemy that was once my friend, the friend that is now my enemy
hit by so many blasts that life ebbed away - didn't even feel the final shot
everyone else dead - we two the last, the enemy the sole survivor also
i'm weak - must hide in the corner to avoid the final few shots that will put me over into the other realm
little by little the scattered shots ebb my life away
hiding down so far i can no longer watch the world around me
the enemy sweeps closer and closer - no longer on a level above
i sense him near
i see his boots
he takes me up and laughs
i lay with the back of my neck against the inside of his crooked elbow
he drags me into an ocean or a feild of flowers- no difference
i feel one hand against my head - sideways, holding me up
i am twisted around his body - he yells for all to see him - the mighty warrior
i cannot breath - i have not been able to breath
i am numb, dizzy, fading, no longer able to hold myself up
i do not feel the final shot
i slide down in a spiral around his body
my head goes below the surface
fleeting moment of panic as i pass below the surface - instinct tells me i'll drown - brain tells me i'm dying already
i can breath
i breath in the water/flowers
so sweet, so soothing, fleeting death and i know i'll be able to breath now
breath in what comes next
the flesh is gone, no longer a constrictor
i can breath
