Recollect

Written by Jacob Ibrag

It hurts to breathe. Recollect the moments

that led to this. She kissed your lips. Talked about

growth. The future will never be like  yesterday.

 Change. It’s inevitable. ‘Drink this, Come to bed.’

She hugged you tight, and disappeared. Get up.

Wipe your sweat infested face. Drag the numbness

married to your mind. Unbearable. Just a dozen

drags of air left. Lungs on the brink of revolt.

You need to know. Look into the mirror.

Black blood running down your

sides. Turn to the right. Knife.

Have A Good Day.
