Written after seeing the death of Haldir in the Two Towers film. he shouldn't have been there! It could be used for any death by violence though.


Unwritten death

The thin line slowly forms beads of red
Almost unnoticed at first
Then gradually building into a trickle, a stream,
Pain hits from nowhere
Building into a crescendo of unbearable agony
I fold over
Suddenly unable to bear my own weight
Confusion wracks my mind,
Where am I?
Why does my body not obey my commands?
My eyes stare, trying to focus.
So many bodies, so much waste,
Is this how it feels to die?
I do not fear death
But I do not wish to embrace it either.
Darkness rushes towards me
Cold fingers squeeze my heart
I feel myself falling and it lasts an eternity.
