Array ( [sid] => 98158 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Last Breath [time] => 2005-06-15 18:08:58 [hometext] => [bodytext] => As I inhale, the pain grows
With every breath I take
I stumble along, weakening
And I leave tears in my wake

I see the blood drip down
But now I can not feel
I'm numb with grief and fear
None of this seems real

I stumble and then I fall
So I lay on the hard ground
Glistening tears mixing with dirt
Now I'm just wishing to be found

And as my blood spreads around me
I remember my friends faces and smile
I relive all the good times we had
Don't think I'll be seeing them for a while

Bitter tears flood down my face
As the pain reaches an excruciating height
I wish someone was here with me
Watching as my soul takes flight

I hear the crunch of feet on leaves
And look up to see your face
You ask why, but even I don't know
I'm gathered up in your embrace

Your tears are now mixed with mine
You hold me and say I make you whole
I touch your face and say I love you
Your love has redeemed my soul

You cry harder, still not letting go
And you whisper back I love you too
My last breath leaves my broken body
As for the last time I look up at you [comments] => 5 [counter] => 216 [topic] => 52 [informant] => highly_flammable [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )
