Inside, Looking Out.

I kissed her and told her everything would be alright. The next thing I know, all I saw was no light. I heard what they said. I felt every touch. I wanted to talk to them, so very much. My wife shook with fear. I wanted to open my eyes. Every thought brought a tear, all I heard were her cries. Why am I breathing, and yet cannot speak? When trying to move, I find I'm too weak. They poke and prod at me as if I were dead, but I feel everything, it just can't be said. It's been along time, and nothing has changed. I realize now, it was all prearranged. I'm on my way upward, to a place far above. I just feel so bad that I can't show my love. I hope they don't think that I deserted them. I hope they all know, we'll be together again. Although I can't tell them about this great place, They'll know where I'm going, by the smile on my face. Copyright: November 6, 2005
