The Final Moment
The trees by her window bowed down low,
And the leaves cried and their voices echo
The sun greeted her with its red, hot stare,
And her thoughts wondered if her time was near.
The aroma of the honey-filled bees filled the sun lit room,
But the dancing waves down by the sea spoke of doom.
Her heart sang a mournful song and her eyes began to weep,
And in that very moment she sighed heavily and drifted off to sleep.
She awoke in the stillness of the night to the noises in the wall,
They called her by name to fight and stand tall.
The bed was a cat sinking its claws deep into her skin,
And the walls continued to beat loudly as she grasped for strength from within.
She twisted and turned in agony as she couldn’t bear the pain anymore,
Death was now her only company and it was then that she was sure.
The fan sang her a lullaby and the floor held its breath ,
As the lights hugged her close she whispered not just yet.
Oh she wished that she had wings that she could fly away,
But death called her name and said in its soft voice, today.
And she wished , oh how she wished that time was finally her friend,
But she was not a friend ,she had robbed her of her will to live,
How could she stop death when she had nothing more to give?
Kiss me on my cheeks death and whisper my name very fast,
Wrap your arms around me death as my time has come at last.
