Died of Pneumonia...

A wet moonlight bathed my outside. A viscous, toxic, painless fluid bathed me from inside. Drenched I lay, abandoned and forgotten, on an empty vastness that mocked at me in the days, but warmly absorbed me in the night. I tried to feel, but succeeded to fail; death, sleep, numbness prevailed.
I tried to remember, from not so long ago, memories of a warmth that blanketed me when I slept. I tried to see, peeking inside the mind, moments when I had smiled and wept. But it as all a blur, a haze swallowed it all, and there I lay, exhausted and spent, in an endless wait. It was a wait for noone, for they had all left me and gone, but I still believed I had to wait, for someone to hold my arm. The night grew darker; I got wetter and colder. My lips began to shiver, something froze inside. The eyelids had grown so heavy I let them fall, albeit slowly, but just before I resigned to complete annihilation, I saw him, and I felt his touch on my hand, and I knew he had come to take me. I was finally released from the poisoned body.
My soul came alive in the rain of love that day.

Oh that was pretty painful.
What made you write that?

But feeling of leaving the body is beautifully depicted in end.

Good post.
