"Last Breath"

By: Andrew Gerrard


As I sit next to you in your time of need,

I talk to you.

I sit there, holding your hand as you slowly disappear.

You ask if everything will be alright,

I reply that everything will be fine.

As the doctor sits outside wondering,

What the hell happened?

I sit there with a smile on my face.

She says I love you and then,

I hear the horrible sound of her vital signs gone.

I yell "Don't leave me! Don't leave me here alone!"

The doctor comes in and shouts clear as he tries to revive her but,

Nothing happened.

I cry smiling saying I love you too.

So, I remember her last breath,

As I sat next to her,

Hoping everything will be fine.

And now, I stand at her grave,

Blaming myself.

I leave a ring of flowers and

I imagine you standing next to me.

I walk away crying with a smile on my face,

Saying, I love you too.
