i wanted to touch,
to hold your hand in mine.
you looked so cold and so unaware.
i sat beside you,
not meeting your eyes.
i smelt death
it lingered in the room,
haunting us.
you seem to not know,
but i do.
i wanted to keep you alive, to prevent the enevitable death.
your helpless, but then, so am i.
all i can do is cry for you,
but will tears do?
i try and smile,
so the last thing you see is a smile.
all you see is a frown,
hidden behind tears of loss...
then comes death. |
