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.
