The day is here, my time has come
I feel myself growing numb
How I longed then for the gift of expression
I look above but see no sky
I look below and there I lie
Caught in this moment of deep admiration
Like most things from the past
I’ve learned it will not last
I hear my name and look around
My friend walks in, I have been found
It’s times like this your best memories emerge
"Do not fret" I say from near
I look at him, he does not hear
Why now is there no meaning to words?
Absorbed in tears, he sinks below;
"I wish you well, I have to go"
My last breath escapes from me
And I am gone –
For now at least
"Although I’m gone, my dear friend,
I’ll be with you until the end"
I now find the words I needed before
But like most things, it came too late
This life is done, my next awaits
Still unaware what I was here for
"We’ve been so close; I know you well
There is so much I want to tell"
"Now I can see, I’m not blind any more
There’s a light ahead, I’ve opened the door
I’m so close to peace, so close to calm
So close to never feeling harm
I hear them calling, it is my time
Do not fret, we’ll both be fine
I’ll wait for you on judgement day
Although for you that’s far away
Now I leave you, I say goodbye
Do not worry, do not cry"
My last breath escapes from me
And I am gone –
Eternally.

These words seem to be birthed from a painful time. To be honest, I didn't want this poem to end.
Thank you 😀 Yes, most of my work stems from sadness and loss but I find it helpful to write about it as I think it turns it into something better xx
I completely agree.
great writing style. The emotion and meaning is amazingly brought forth within every line. A sad poem that reminds me so much of a poem I wrote called, As I Lay. Great work, indeed.
Thank you lovely lady (Maria/Sharon?)! I'd be really interested to read your work, 'As I Lay,' if it's one you're willing to share some time xx
