The Last Laugh

The Last Laugh


So I feel it all approaching and apropos
Of nothing tangible (yet something
Nonetheless real enough)
I cower into the shadows.

When they burst in - through the
Shattered doorframe of my sanity -
I will go quietly and quickly;
Painlessly, in a manner of my choosing.

Much later, when the questions are
Being asked and left unanswered,
They will, frustrated, stamp their
Feet like cattle whilst I look down

And smile through my tears.

Ahh I loved the tone of this, perfectly worded.
