Last breath
I close my eyes,
Be still my heart,
I’m not ready to be apart,
Beating deep,
A saddened heart,
Nobody said it would be this hard,
Pain runs deep,
Flowing in these veins of mine,
Forever wouldn’t have been enough time,
Tears flow,
One at a time,
This much hurt should be a crime,
Now I stand alone,
The sun brings a new dawn,
A new day

Gaia’s Last Breath
We were given one garden,
One womb spun in stardust and sea foam,
But we — children of steel and smoke —
Turned it into a battlefield of greed.
The trees whispered secrets of balance,
But we silenced them with chainsaws.
The rivers wept in silver tones,
Now they gag on plastic and oil.
Oceans rise not in wrath —
But in sorrow.
Mountains crumble

One Last Breath
Start it off with a tiny bit,
But not too much so you can quit.
Still in control with nothing but wonders,
While it watches you fall into a slumber.
Strapped up around your arm,
Feeling no pain, feeling no harm.
Safely sound as you may feel,
But trust me—this is not the deal.
Tension unrolls as your eyes go back,
Heaven appears just

Only Memories Last
Close your eyes, take a breath
hold a glimpse of what,
all moments have past
life will keep on, going it's way ,
only will the memories last .....
Now feel the bond and the love
Aside what spent unwell
Cuz one day will all be gone
Only will the memories last....
What matters is what was amid
Not what

Last breath
In a world of dreams, I see you in my minds streams, feeling more then a fling, but to you were nothing, maybe something, but not what I want us to be, maybe nothing, but it’s not what I see,
longing for a chance, a moment to dance, questioning my vision, caught in indecision, yet

The Silent Visitor
It comes whisking in when least expected,
Its steps silent, its grip too cold.
It slips through cracks, unseen and unchecked,
No whistle blown, no stories told.
Whether the doors are opened or locked,
It doesn't knock to take its due.
Whether the windows are open or closed,
It cares not for the clear sky or view.
It will one day meet us

In Which I Swallow My Last Breath
This is the story
in which I die
and come back to life
I thought it was over
I felt powerless,
purposeless
but I of course discovered
the opposite side of the coin
I gave up, almost
from the highest roof
I’ve had in this city
I could have flung myself
I didn’t do it,
I couldn’t be like he was
Instead I was brave
I called a number

LAST BREATH
I didn't know you were going to take your last breath
I knew you had bad health
But I always knew you had the strength
Your leaving us had a big effect
It all started with a phone call
That day all I could think of was that my fault
I remember rushing home
At this time I just knew I didn't

Love's last breath
Sorry for dropping such a letter,
But it really is for the better.
I really wish to love you right, but I can't
I can't be with you.
And its not that I dont want you,
And its not that you are not enough,
You are perfect as you are,
There aint even a thing I would wanna change.
The problem is me,
My

The Last Breath
The sound was deafening
The ringing menacing
The light was blinding
But also spellbinding
The smell was horrible
Not at all ignorable
The taste was amiss
Making my tongue hiss
The bomb breathed its last
Leaving nothing but glass
The war was then finished
Half the country diminished
But those who were left
Felt more than blessed
Death had finished his curse
Knowing he couldn’t do worse

Last Breath
Revelation 22:12 (KJV) “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
In the stillness of the dawn,
Abides a gentle that can’t be wrong,
Before the night has really gone,
Engulfing my spirit in His sweet song.
Blushing with love I yearn to pass on,
Promising me that

The Last Breath of the Flame
The clock, the watch, the phone all have eyes that watch from the view of 2 AM untamed
Heart rates jumping like the heat of the flame
Me plus You is a movie, what is the name
Our love doesn't fit in the frame
So, cameras get jealous of the panorama pane
Real love never goes without

Leaving Your Last Breath
Like those last
luscious faintly
enfeebled breaths
bitterly breaking
through my
limply lifting lungs .
Fervently flooding
my tear filled
eyes. Tenderly
tottering into
those timidly
tight-lipped times .
Who wistfully
whispers
their coolly
cut cards of
kindred conversations.
Carefully kindling
their heart-crossed
corners of compassion.
