Slipping Away
Slipping away...
Alone,
I watch you slip away.
Your eyes flutter open.
And then they close.
I watch you slowly;
slipping away from me.
Taking a piece of me as you go.
I see your breathing is irregular,
your heartbeat slows down.;
your pulse is weak.
You turn to me,
you open your mouth to speak,
but there is no voice.
A tear rolls down your cheek,
you lie there so still,
so calm,
so peaceful.
I watch you,
you have left me
here.
