Last Given Breath

Contributed by Channing on Saturday, 24th September 2005 @ 02:11:33 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



He lay in bed
Mind and body full of dread
She walked into the room
The room of impending doom

His hand reached out
She took it with no doubt
Silver rings touched
As their hands clutched

Memories soon overcame
Of teenage flirting games
A sweet first date
Their first big debate

A marriage was held and sworn
Their first child was born
Arguments had also ensued
However all of them subdued

The news then came
It set their lives aflame
He was very sick
It could not be healed by logic

With few months to live
The disease held him captive
No one wanted to say goodbye
He didn’t want to disappear into the sky

Alas she kissed his forehead
Out of their eyes tears fled
He knew it was coming
He knew there was no running



Shortly before death
Came his last given breath
Out of his mouth the words flew
“I love you”

-Channing-

I'm sure many of us have known this moment, hopefully as observers, and not 1st person. Very touching and well said. I praise your passion!
