Then, you were taken from me from out of the blue.
Death laid its hand upon you and left it's mark.
All I could do is hope that a light would shine through the dark.

I stood beside you every minute of your pain.
Where was the life I hoped you would regain?
Your skin became pale and your eyes light.
I gripped your hand all through the night.

My bones became heavy and my legs weak.
All of my other problems suddenly became small and meak.
I wished I could be the one on that bed.
I knew there would be much less pain if I were dead.

You started slipping further and further away.
What awful debt was death making you pay?
I started to cry as I struggled to hear your breath.
Much to my fears there was nothing left.
The pain was greater than any i'll ever know.
But, all I could do is watch you go. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Webalady555 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
