Last Breath
when it rained, it came it sheets
I was drenched from head to feet
no shelter close to help affection
feelings drown without protection
next comes windchill down to bone
howling, swirling, on it groans
in my mind I now avow
this is the end, right here and now
but on and on and on it goes
day and night I do not doze
ever watchful and alert
my will now I shall assert
without nourishment it shall die
relationships ebb with swollen lies
it will die a lonely death
sighing with its very last breath
