Hold On To Me

Hold On To Me

Lights now brighter than the sun,

With the drips near and the machine beeping,

People chattering around me,

Saying things that  I cannot understand. 

Then I see myself standing in a corridor,

All dark and not a speck of light, 

Cold as the Antarctic,

Prison cells as hot as a thousand suns. 

Wandering there I found a room,

A room which I thought was home,

Resembling to a place far suppressed in my memories,

Welcoming me inside was the ghost that haunted me. 

Guilt ridden and terrified I stood, 

Waiting for the scene to unfold,

The living hell that I had left,

Now had followed me through the doors of the unknown. 

Time moving at the pace of a snail,

Punishing my soul with the deepest fears from my past,

And there I stood trying to battle with them,

Only to fall deeper into wormhole that it was.

I stabbed him once and there I stabbed him for eternity,

Removing him from existence, 

Only to let him live in my mind,

Helplessly looking at me and yelling at me to go. 

Like decoding a labyrinth,

I staggered on my way,

Just to find an exit,

Only to be brought out from there by something, 

Hazy vision and a roaring headache,

I saw the people around me,

The defibrillator in the hands of one,

I woke up in a jerk only to rush.

With a bleeding wrist and a blood soaked shirt,

I ran to her,

Just to see her living like a machine,

A heartbeat replaced by a beep, 

I sat next to you, 

With your hands in mine,

Looking at you and asking you,

To hold on to me till eternity.
