Take My Body

I saw you on that white bed You looked so beautiful with eyes close A lot of vines attached to your head You seemed so comfortable, I supposed I sat next to you on a vacant space You were peacefully sleeping still I held your hand and caressed your face I know or may not know how you feel You opened your eyes and looked at me I smiled so wide and said “Hi” To be with you is all I want to be But you kept on bidding your goodbye I can see your pain but there’s nothing I can do You said how much you love me And God knows how much I love you too Please, take my body. Just take my body. My constant cry. 09/08/2015
