Fifteen Minutes to Midnight...

Poem Artwork


Fifteen minutes to midnight
Time marches on
This is something I must
Go through alone
My heart beats faster in
Its fear
I've never cried, but I
Feel a tear
There is a horror down deep
In my soul
As death draws near
My blood runs cold

Ten minutes to midnight
Wish there was a way
To stop this clock
But I must pay
The world will still
Go on as before
Not much will change
'Cept I won't be here no more
I never had much of a life
It won't be much lost
In anger I murdered a man
Now I pay the cost

One minute to midnight...
And all is still
Soon they will come
This don't seem real
I want to run
Get out of here
I'm in a pit of
Pain and fear
Swirling down in the
Darkness I fall
As I hear the guards
Walking down the hall...

The was absolutely brilliant. I love how you dove into the mind of someone on deathrow cherishing his or her final moments. I felt the pain. A masterpiece at best!
By the way, we write similar. I honestly believe that you'll enjoy all my works.

Heartwrenching but all to real. All to often this is the way a life is ended. A chilling end to his life but, maybe peace for the family of the life he took? a great write.

Every criminal's nightmare...but the Good Book say, "An eye For an eye", you caught this poor soul's, last few minutes on Earth well.
Mastering all his unworthy fears, throught your Golden Pen
Excellent write......Don't stop now
