Fade To Black.

Your time is near, you look back on your life in gratitude.
Faces of sorrow and tears fill up the room quickly.
In your mind you want to think everything is ok, but for some reason you cant.
The sweet smell of flowers enter your head as your eyes become more heavy.
Your eyes fill up with tears as you have to explain to your kids you wont be coming back.
The time is getting closer, You are awaiting this dreadful time in agony.
You only want peace of mind once more.
Now with your last breathe, and last glance, you look at your husband.
you close your eyes and never turn back, as everything slowly..


                                               Fades to black..
