Her Last Breath

Her last breath

If you would believe
She died twice
There was no pulse
Not even a heart beat
Yet she exhaled a gurgling air
Her last breath…..
They took her by ambulance
They put her on a machine to breath
She had no brain now, she has no life now
She’s not in pain now...
Why would they do this?
Cause more pain for me, give me hope
To watch me hurt even more
Her last breath…..
I took her off that machine
So she could breathe for free
She’s not in pain now...
I took her home where she belonged
To die once more in my arms
Her last breath has gone.
In my arms is where she belongs…..
