I was lucky enough

in this sometimes very strange

world, to fall in love with you.

For, each and every fiber

of my being is yours,

to do with as you please.

And unexpectedly, your leaving...

Not me, only this mortal existence.

I sit and stare

holding your hand

just waiting to

hear a kind word

or to see a simple smile

while looking in those

tiny, tired eyes of yours

transfixed upon mine.

"Shh" she says,

"I gladly give

my last breath

for you to live...

my love.
