Darkness

 

The droplets of crimson blood spray onto the ground

It’s spreading.

Sweat mixing with blood to make a horrible image

The virus is spreading.

Short gasps of air, lungs dying for breath

It’s infecting.

Fear and pain fill the eyes

It has infected my chest.

Fingers grasping for something to hold onto, desperate

The numbness is spreading.

Flailing for a last glimpse of life

My emotions are fading.

Silent screams for help

I can’t feel anything anymore.

Struggling, grasping for more time

All I feel is rage.

Tears roll down cheeks dripping on the ground

A maniac glee rises.

Limbs are starting to become stiff

A crooked smile spreads across my face.

The light starts to fade in their eyes

This moment will change everything.

The heart is struggling to pump life into the body

A rush of adrenaline and serotonin.

It’s gone, everything is gone, it’s dead

The numbness has taken over.

The blank stare, glassy and cold

The virus won’t ever leave again...
