One Last Breathe

breathing faster,
Getting scarier,
Hoping,
Praying,
For the best.
Taking time to think,
made a decision,
just put her down.
Breathing slower,
looking sicker.
The tears,
are streaming down.
The hope is fading,
We all know,
she is going to die.
Pet her,
one last time,
she breathes, 
one last breath,
and shes gone.
Right,
in my arms.
