I WATCHED
I watched you grasp for air
You fought and fought hard
I felt helpless
I wanted to help but didn’t know how
Your hospital monitors were going crazy
I wanted to cry but couldn’t
It was like voices in my head saying shouldn’t
Witnessed your agony and pain
Tears wanted to fall
I held back
Your eyes and body went into a seizure
I knew from within
You would be leaving this Earth
Suddenly your body went lump
I felt your leg and it was cold
Your eyes were closed and then totally breathless
You got your heavenly wings
I cried uncontrollable
Into the skies your soul soared
You roam now in the ever after.
