Last Breath.

As I sit next to her, listening,

Listening to her breathing,

So loud, so hard.

I await that breath,

That final breath,

That tells me she has gone.

 

The breathing quietens,

I look deep into her face,

My love is with her

As she draws that final breath.

She moves on into a new world,

Free of pain,

Her mind clear at last.

 

The light of my life

Now gone,

Casting a shadow over me.

That shadow so heavy,

So heavy in my life,

Pulling me down,

Down into the depths,

The depths of my soul.

I sit looking at her,

The waiting has ended.

 

But I know that she will be waiting,

Waiting for me,

On that day when I will join her,

And our never failing love,

Will go on to eternity.
