Versification 2023- Second entry

Word: Tranquil


I felt the coldness of your skin when I held you

Your body so lifeless, it was bleeding profusely

Your breathing unstable and slowly decreasing

Your eyes seemed far far away, opening barely


The excitement, brightness you always carried

They were long gone, replaced by cloudiness

Just one step away from knocking death's door

You smiled, then left for the tranquil darkness
