C'EST TOUT?
C'EST TOUT?
Only my shadow remained
talking to the wall
wondering where I had got to
strange...seeing my shadow
without a me
to pin it down
my reflection stared
out of the mirror
startled to be me-less
Time started to look
for me anywhere&everywhere
but I was not to be found
I watched the world
give a twirl or two
without a me on it
the words floating off the page
buzzin' 'round my eyes
like flies...flies...flies
thoughts like bubbles
bursting on the furniture
with an almost audible pop
I felt like a cartoon
only able to to speak
in speech bubbles
"This is a bit sudden!" I said
resentment stinging my voice
Death: just grinned
