A Life Waiting to Perish by AmsysteemCreated with Sketch.

It was a wonderful day.
I heard his voice calling out my name.
"Babe, today is going to be fantastic! Get ready!"
I rushed to the rusty iron door and got too excited.
I pictured that this day is going to be full of snuggles.
"It will be a day well spent with this person.", I said to myself.
For the past 11 months, I felt like a princess.
He's been my chef, my doctor, my all in all.
But little did I know that today we both have to say goodbye to each other.
"What went wrong?", I mumbled.
"I thought everything was fine between us?"
He opened the door, took me out and cleaned me up.
He whispered to me that this day is a celebration and I will make a lot of people happy.
I was puzzled, I couldn't understand what was happening.
He loaded me unto the truck and drove to a place I've never been to.
20 minutes later the car stopped. It was an unfamiliar place.
People looked so busy and no one seemed to wonder who I am.
Then as soon as I got off the truck, a stranger with a big rope in his hands took me in his arms.
I didn't know what awaits me. I turned around, as the man whom I spent my life with bid farewell.
My heart sank into despair.
Now the stranger took the rope, strapped it on my foot and tied me into a barrier.
As I stood behind the gate, there I saw creatures of my kind lying lifeless on a pole above the burning coals.
11 months ago I breathed life. Today I'll succumb to death. I was a life waiting to perish.
