Poem Title:
Poem
I saw it coming Yet I was too far away As my voice fell on deaf ears I heard the tires squeal As metal bent and bones were crushed I ran towards my true love My tears ran down my face Like the blood down his He told me to save him But I wasn't enough Years of training for what? As I held my love in my arms Blue eyes began to dull His life leaving is all I saw Everything will be ok I said with a soft lie Believing only that it wasn't possible that he would die Minutes seemed to take hours Till I heard the sirens till the lights finally found us. Do you hear that my love There coming I said holding him in iron arms His breathing slowed as his voice pierced my soul I love you, But I have to go The last words his body would let him control No you don't I said in a voice that wasn't my own I can save you... I can do this.... I can't lose you Just hold on I promise I'll make this ok I love you baby so you must see another day A smile crossed his face As the sun shined His soul finally escaped his body's case Tears fell from my eyes As if it was my last time to cry My bittersweet lie that I could save you Circled in my head And I realized that I wasn't enough That I couldn't save him That I had to hold my love as he died And the last words I said to him were my worse lie
