Blow To My Fatality (Recommended) Poem by Ridah Ellahi

The knife
The knife that you hold in your hand
The stride
Your cold stride
As you proceed towards me
The eyes
Your bloodshot eyes
That penetrate through my skin
That cut through my flesh
The glare
Your glare
That haunts this dark home of mine
Even three feet below the ground
The smile
Your smile
The smile of the victorious
The smile of the blood thirsty tiger
At the sight of his helpless pray
The moment
The second
The fraction of a second
That you give me to flee
The satisfaction
That dawns upon your face
As you realize
That I’m at your mercy
The hesitation
The hesitation of a split second
That you don’t even show
Before you strike me
Once again
Only this time
You achieve your desire
The fatality
My fatality
The second strike
Your second strike
That sends me wheeling
Wheeling back to my home
Three feet below the ground
The warmth
The warmth of the hell fire
As I fall
With a final surrender
Into the embrace
Of the bottomless pit
