Truest Fear

Pounding footsteps
Heavy breathing
You are right here with me after all
I have not lost you
Though I fear I will soon lose myself
To the blade you so lovingly caress
Around the corner
Up the stairs
Through the open door
Into the closet
No, you are there too
Down a floor
In the fireplace now
I can still feel your breath
Never falling a beat behind me
In a corridor
Running for my existence
My fate is made clear to me
I turn to face it
To succumb to the knowledge of death
As my body is bathed in warm liquid
And I feel my life force being spirited away
I chance a look upon a mirror
And with my last breath
Realize
She is me
