Breath
"Sweet breath
That now comes so hard
My tired lungs
betray me
I slowly drown
in a sea of air
Crossing a room is painful
I can no longer
mount a stair
Sweet nothingness approaches
I fear it not
For it will bring,
The birds to my yard,
Where with joy they will sing
And for me, the only thing,
I pray for me it should bring,
That which I most covet to gain....
An end to this horrific pain."
