Last Breath
The shadows come alive
as I have never seen
hushed whispers in the dark
confusion and fear
what happens now
I mentally scream
emotions welling up
fear overwhelming me
where is my life
where is my hope
gone to me
slipping away
as I breathe my last breaths
it’s all appearing before me
my then – my now
my everything
emotions – loves – loss
all of it
don’t let me go
hold me – I plead
I need to stay
I need to be here
I don’t want to go
don’t let me go
please…
every breath I breathe – fading now
every tear I shed – my last
I need to be okay
I need to simply walk back home
and let all of this be
but a bad memory
Alas…
the shadows are finding me now
as I sigh to my last breath
don’t forget me
don’t forget…. Ever
