Shining Bright

It happened on, a moonless night, our fatal path, was out of sight, and when we crashed, I saw the light, my fate was doomed, to loose this fight. So I write this note, to let you know, the love I have, but didn't show, was always there, from long ago, and I was wrong, to take it slow. I'm sorry if, I write too fast, the water's rising, my time won't last, I hope your able, to forgive my past, and all my sins, so very vast. Another foot, the water rose, its so cold, I can't feel my toes, I'll do my best, my nose is froze, to keep writing, as my heartbeat slows. Its hard to write, above my head, so I swim up, and float instead, my mind is blurred, and full of dread, It's almost time, I'm almost dead. And so I fight, with all my mite, my face against, the deck so tight, no air to breathe, and still despite, my shining star, you shine so ......!
