Despair washing over…glimmer of hope exceedingly small

 

A door closing vertically…little by little

 

Charging, leaping one last time, sliding, sprawled out

 

Door crushes lower back, bones crunch – like the chocolate bar

 

Almost made it out, excruciating pain

 

Objectively short lasting, subjectively long lasting

 

Passing away, years of decay, no one dismayed

 

Made it halfway
