The Silent Goodbye

mouths open slowly

liquid toxins flow down

through my internal tubing

through my poisoned veins

close my mouth

close my eyes

open my mind and wander

meander down these paths

lost inside myself

stranded, cut off

eyes stay closed

heartbeat slows

breaths become shallow

behind closed doors

it al shuts down

heartbeat stills

breathing ceases

the brain suffocates

the soul is smothered

and without a sound

i say goodbye
