Impasse

Slowly
As the anguish
Of the knife borrows deeper
Piercing flesh
And contracting muscles
Bent on resisting
The already inevitable outcome
The body irrevocably spasms.
The pain rushes forth
Unabated
And relentless
The ripple effect is crippling
The intended screams
Quickly muffled
Between taste of leather
And metal.
The eyes flutter
Shock ridden pupils sink
Ebbing closer to the darkness
Without resistance.
There was no fight remaining
As the steel slowly leaves the spin
And the light fades to black
The body topples over
Drowning in a pool of its own blood.
