Long wait...

I know how it's going to end.

I can see the big tank with wisps of smoke ready to scourge me..

I can feel the menacing teeth of the blood-red blade thirsty for more..

But, when is my time?

I can feel more space as more of my mates are taken out.

At least they don't have to suffer the wait...

Knowing that you're dying, but waiting and waiting...

The wait... It kills me inside...

I'd rather be finished off now.

I'm calling while I still have the voice to..

I'm eating while I'm still offered to...

Anything but closing my eyes...

As I know a long sleep will befall me soon.

If I were to be given an option to be back to where I belong, will I accept it?

Now that I know the sweet taste that is in front of me, I won't give it up for anything..

I don't want to go out and hear the whispers of sweet-nothings...

Promises which are left at that... Just promises... Nothing more, nothing less.

Dissappointed endlessly..

As the door opens and a hand stretches in to reach after me..

Finally...

The long wait has come to an end...
