She reached out as if to touch a dwindling star
a single tear fell across her sweet face
a fateful journey had brought us to this place
together we had come so far
Against my cheek the touch of her hair
softly lifting her chin until our eyes met
within hers my heart and soul will always be there
I quietly whispered to her
I'll love you always...I have no regrets
Her voice cracked and she cried as she said
you and I are forever eternally bound
among the heavens it will be written and read
How in our two hearts a perfect love was found
As the final hour drew nearer
a lifetime of cherished memories
replaced all the thoughts of fear
The laughs, the tears
time spent together
building a love throughout the years
Our hearts leaped as the whistle blew
we kissed ever so deeply
we knew our destiny and what we had to do
Standing in line side by side
bodies and souls we bared
our pride and our love we did not hide
Into the white room we went
soft cries all around us
in each others arms the last moments we spent
The air becoming smokey and thick
we kneeled on the floor
I turned to her and cried
I'll meet you at heaven's door
for it was in that nazi chamber they died.

My God, but this brings back the shock and disbelief I experienced as a child upon learning what occurred in WWII. What a powerful poem you have penned! Stunning.
Wow. So well written, and very powerful
Thank you for writing this and sharing it, so beautiful
I am certain such incidents happened. You captured those moments, horrible shocking moments, surrounding these lovers, as they went quietly each supported by their love.
What a poem! Full of such love in the face of an horrendous death.
Such a powerful write
