Last moments

By Chuyin Jin, Year 12

As you plunge your knife through my chest 

I look into your eyes one last time before I leave

They were like two stars shining in the sky

As bright as the sun and as dark as the night 

As if it brightened the night and darkened the day

Yet those visions died after a graze from your metal blade

The initial warmth I felt vanished without any traces

My hopes of staying here flew away 

As soon as the cold blade entered my body

For once and for all, your true colours appeared 

Followed by the numerous streaks of blood left behind 

It was not until then that I saw you for who you are

I felt you through the blade

You wanted my selfish love to cease 

You never wanted to accept me

Because you did not deserve to be loved like I loved you
