As You Leave

I watch as you lay there, slipping away
You're pale skin feels so cool
as i gently touch your hand

So many thoughts and memories
racing through my mind
My heart feels so heavy
We haven't much more time

Your dry cracked lips quiver
as you whisper your last words
The emptiness consumes me
It's time you leave this world

I watch as you struggle
as you take your last breath
Now my heart is broken
Shattered by your death

Wow....

*takes breath* Wow, Stacey... this really struck a cord somewhere deep inside. A very emotional piece. Keep up the VERY good work.
