Poem Title:
Poem
Her breathing was so even and calm, Sleeping in that bed, Her face once distorted with so much pain, Now seems so soft and painless, Looking closer to her face, I think she’s kind of smiling, Maybe she’s dreaming of when she was well, Or maybe she’s dreaming of me, I can’t tell. I remember summer evenings; we’d sit in the grass, She’d tell me stories that I had never heard, About people and places from the past, She even shared her dreams with me, And swore me never to tell, That one day she would fly away, And get out of what she called hell. She never liked the place that we called home, Always saying there was so much more, But where I never saw, and always failed to ask, I think she thought she wouldn’t have been sick, If she hadn’t lived there, But I know she would still be, No matter where she did dwell. Sometimes I would feel sad, Because I know my time with her would end, That one day she would be so sick, She wouldn’t get back out of bed, I feel this time has come, She’s been in bed a long time now, Her skin has lost its tan, She’s so white and fragile now, I’m afraid I’ll break her if I touch her, I was told even though she sleeps, she can still hear me, So I tell her lots of tales, And all my darkest secrets, I swore her never to tell, That I wish that she were well, Lately everyone around has been so sad, So many tears- I don’t understand, Is she finally going away? From this place that she called hell? Is she finally going to be free from pain, And actually fly away? I’ll guess she may have already, Maybe that’s why she smiled, Maybe in her dreams, She’s flying high in the sky, Sleep now, And I will do the same, I know that when I open my eyes, Yours won’t because your time has finally came. I’ll miss you forever.
