Life and Death

Life and Death

In that sterile room, devoid of possessions

Where the only sound was the gentle hum of electricity

We first said “Hello” and our lives became entwined

A lifetime of friendship was born, too short though

As days turned to weeks, then to months and years,

The bond between us grew, our relationship blossomed. 

First as parent and child, then, as the years sped by,

Friends. Friends forever, never forgetting who we were

We shared plenty of laughs, a few tears too

Any angry words that were spoken in the heat of the moment,

Forgiven as soon as they were aired, 

Replaced by an understanding that only friends have 

Suddenly , as too few years had passed, we found ourselves back where we began. 

In that sterile room, devoid of possessions

Where the only sound was the gentle hum of electricity

Powering the machines that stopped you from dying

As the hum ceased we said our final goodbyes

Gone, but never far away.
