Dancing with Death – 2004

19th February 2016 By Jonelle

I danced with the devil last night.

Alone in my room, I waited for you.

My mouth began to taste of blood.

I should have known.

I should have felt the ice slip through my veins.

I should have heard the screams that chilled the darkness.

Time ticked by.

Seconds dragging on for hours.

With every passing second of my life,

you love me, only less.

I long to die.

And so I dance in my sleep.

The blood in my veins will stop flowing and dry up.

When you return to me, your guilt will consume you.

You will be lost inside my imaginary madness.

Hello, I’m Jonelle and this is my story.

Wow! This was a moment. Turning 40 when I almost d Wow! This was a moment.
Turning 40 when I almost didn’t live past 32. 
Grateful for every day of every year since then! 
Life is so precious and life is everything you make it. 

Thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had along the way. Thankful for all the people I’ve met and the leaps I’ve taken! 

Grateful to live where we do. 
Grateful for my family and friends. 
Grateful to live comfortably and never have to worry about being without. Such privilege in a world with so much struggle. 

Thankful for my pets who drive me nuts and love me endlessly. 

I’m looking forward to the next decade. Stepping more into myself and knowing who I am and what my boundaries are. The things I will not tolerate or accept. 

Just grateful for my life. 
The end. #HBD to me!
