Forever the suffering, sleep
Love, death, and dreaming eternal
This was the end
My final thought
My final breath
.
It should never have been like this
But
I was wrong to not expect it
The bed shook and
As I tossed and turned against my own will
I was drowning in a grief I had only known so well
My final thought
I hoped
My final breath
I pleaded to my mind
Save me with my death
.
In this moment I was ready to die
There was nothing more I could do
I wanted this after all
I did this to myself
I had accepted defeat
I had no fight left in me
But
My legs continued to flail and kick
Despite my mind going dark
.
I should have guessed
This was the end
Did I deserve to be here?
Was it my fault after all?
I couldn't get out of this horror no matter what I tried
I had made wrong decision after wrong decision
The cycle went on
And this life
Wouldn't let me be free
.
But you
.
Holding my fragile existence
As you pulled me into an embrace
Had started to stand up
The hairs on my arms
You noticed
"You're cold"
I could only strain a smile when I looked at you
Your eyes were different
Like nothing I had yet known
You were different
But
I didn't deserve this
Where did you come from?
You appeared out of nowhere
Right when I needed saving
But
You were still just a distant memory,
If I knew you had come to tell me that
Things would get easier
But
You were just a dream
I guess
You were never here after all
.
The bed shook as I tossed and turned against my own will
I took my final breath and
This was the end

This is a great entry for the Inverse, and it flows well both ways! I like how you repeatedly use “but” as a way to jar the reader, but also to flip the narrative too. It seems like in one reading he has been rescued from death, and in the second he wants death to rescue him from grief. Nicely done 👏 Good luck in the challenge!
