Your Last Words

Original Submission by Nadeepa Rajapakse

Your Last Words

For a second, I thought I died.

Turns out it was you leaving me

Death doesn’t scare me, but you leaving me did.

The angel in me fell, and a fallen angel was born.

Kindness left my core and revenge took over.

I treated you right before but now I don't.

Dragged you inside with your hands tied,

The knife was sharp but looked dull to my view.

The next thing I felt was relief,

Then I realized that you were not moving.

One by one, tears filled my eyes.

At last, I said goodbye my love.

Your body was never found.
