Death
As I kneel beside you
My emotions are overwhelming
My anger is like a wild raging fire
My pain is eating me alive
But my sorrow, is just too much to handle
I want to fight for you, but I cannot
All I can do is watch
Watch you slip away
Your last breath is like a knife
Being plunged into my heart
A knife, I can never remove
As I hold your limp body in my arms
I cry uncontrollably
My tears washing over your cold, pale face
I collapse beside you
Drained of everything I have
I am fading with you
Except I will return
Without you
