yesterday

anger
was
almost
synonymous with fear.
in oblivion,
i was lost.
.
hope soared
high up the red sky.
my soul
lamented that evening,
sucking the mild punches
of the crippling cold wind
as the last star
disappeared from the horizon.
.
i closed
my eyes as
the last pill
slid
down my throat.
.
i waited.
.
it took a while
for the pangs of death to kick in.
finally, game over.
