Our Love I Will Always Hold

It is this final day I dread Like a blanket of grave despair That suffocates my heart It is all I can do, to stop this scream from wrenching forth As I watch your breath labour...My love Through tears I watch you try and squeeze my hand Knowing HE stalks the room, pushing that evil Ever so closer to your soul As our eyes betray what little tears we have left What time will thieve from our future at HIS behest My God I pray don’t forsake us Take this wretched Beast and cast him from her pain As surely our love still burns below the coals HE has strewn from our dying hearth My love... I am numb with fear as I watch you wither As I sit here crying with tears that never dry up...My sweet love I watch HIM seize your last breath through our hold My love... Our love I will always hold... Elly Wouterse’s contest “Maybe the last letter” 4 September 2014
