Death Rettle Poem by Mehdi Yilmaz

Death Rettle

Do you hear?
Echoing in the depths of the night...
The rotten melody of my last breath...
This is not the whisper of death—
This is the dance of darkness.

Every step I take
Echoes in these rotten stones,
Every breath I draw
Coils 'round my throat like a chain.
The symphony of destruction begins now…
And I will write its first note in blood.

There is no salvation,
Not for me, not for you…
Only shadows,
And the last song
They will never forget...

Consider my death growl an anthem.
With each fall, I draw nearer.
Every scream—
The echo of my soul.

When I close my eyes,
The world will fall silent.
For even the darkness,
As it bids me farewell,
Will pause for a moment—
And pay respect.
