Array ( [sid] => 136567 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ~Last Breath~ [time] => 2007-08-08 02:06:53 [hometext] => This was written after an altercation with an ex of mine, and I was thinking about my niece who died of an asthma attack. [bodytext] => His hands around my neck taking away the air inside of me
I started to panic...I can’t breathe!
He finally decided to let go and I started to cry….a cry so true.
But I cried not for me, I cried because I thought of you.
How horrible of a feeling that was, to want to breathe
but you can not find a breath.
For that one split second I knew the feeling you must have felt
at the moment of your death.
I can see it clearly, how you must have looked,
and how completely terrified you must have been.
How your last words were you crying out for your Grandma,
which on the other end of the line she heard.
Then your head got dizzy and everything turned black…
At that very moment you took your last breath,
you turned around, walked away and never looked back.
It made me so sad, knowing you had to die this way.
No one thought it would have ended up like that on this day.
Now you’re gone and there’s not much more we can say.
I’ll always wonder why God took someone so precious to all of us?
But I do know that in him we must trust.
Even though its hurts and I have to let you go.
I know that God has taken you for a reason,
and that reason we will never know.
Now I too must go…this life right here is not for me.
Somehow, somewhere I must work up the courage
I need to pack up and just leave.
