• It fell onto my skin
    I felt it seep into my blood
    Flowing through my veins
    Following its path like a monster after its prey

    Every inch of my body, stiff with fear
    Please, please make it stop
    Make it go away! Please!

    I felt it go into my heart
    Time stopped, the world fell silent
    Just so I could hear his mocking voice

    Wait one week
    And maybe even another
    You’ll feel no pain

    But even so,
    Just knowing you have only one week left
    Is enough to make you go insane
    Crazy with fear and rage
    So crazy that you are willing
    Willing to make the insanity stop

    So crazy that you are wanting death
    Pleading for death
    Begging it to come
    To come and consume your soul
