The Final Embrace

My dreams fall to the floor, scattering like rose petals.
Disconcerted i watch the merciless tears settle upon the 
unfulfilled dreams like shimmering dewdrops. the diamond 
misery sparkles up at me, as though suggestion that i 
surrender myself completely.
My eyes widen in disbelief and involuntarily i shake my 
head. fear slashes at me with vicious claws. and i shudder 
in spite of myself.
The sullen darkness slithers closer, striking at me with 
ravenous fangs. i feel hope elude me as the last if the 
light recedes, and i sink to the floor, landing among the 
somber remains of once-beautiful wishes.
As i feel myself slipping away, realize that this is my 
end, and remorse rains down on me, mingling with the sorrow
 that fills my heart.
All is lost forever as the dead blackness enshrouds me with
 the final embrace.
