Knowing you'll only get one last breath
Looking upon you
You've become a statue
All in the space of a breath

Holding you down as they push the syringe
Seeing the fluid, I began to cringe
Watching you die
I can't help but cry
Crying to God under breath

And I can't
Hear
My breathing
I can't feel my face
All
I
Know is you're gone

I can't come up for a breath. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Yodo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Take A Breath

Contributed by Yodo on Tuesday, 10th February 2004 @ 11:57:58 PM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry

Following you as you're lead to your death
Knowing you'll only get one last breath
Looking upon you
You've become a statue
All in the space of a breath

Holding you down as they push the syringe
Seeing the fluid, I began to cringe
Watching you die
I can't help but cry
Crying to God under breath

And I can't
Hear
My breathing
I can't feel my face
All
I
Know is you're gone

I can't come up for a breath.

although i'm not familiar with this style, i can say that the emotion came through very strongly and put me in that very room as though i were facing it too.
