That Night’s Dream
“Last Breath”
I always tried to be your perfect manly kind
I must acknowledge as I review, I was blind
the changing eyes, the depression on your face
when I broke away from your firm embrace
gradually, longer naps and shorter walks
intrusive broken silence in our talks
that never failed loving kiss good night
all the signs missed, hidden out of sight
you deflected, misinformed, and even lied
appointments and diagnoses you did hide
terrified of my future nights alone
you treated the secrets as your own
most definitely I love you still to this day
can truthfully admit, I’d do it the same way
let you sleep to protect you from the fear
some beautiful words you would also hear
I would caress your head at the same pace
keep the hair from falling on your face
one thing I would ensure with my death
to whisper “I love you”, using my last breath

Very romantic in nature this poem gives a pledge of love to the last line.
I am trying to write a story using the poems. It is a little scattered in the order I am writing them. I hope to learn how to write the short stories to accompany the story I am trying to portray.
I still have a lot of refining to do on my approach but every time someone likes a poem it encourages me more to tell more stories.
any suggested books to read to refine my writing?
