An Angel's Calling

by Sora   Mar 25, 2009


Her heart has no beat anymore,
She grasps her chest, desperately trying to breathe.
Tears seek a path down her face,
She is now down on one knee.

Her vision then becomes blurry,
Flashbacks of everyone run through her mind.
She keeps tellin herself, "This is not the end"
But the clocks ticking, she's running out of time.

Looking around, trying to find a familiar face,
She reaches for someone, but the room is empty.
She lets out a high pitched scream,
And says to herself, "It's not my time, it can't be"

Her thoughts are shattered by the sound of sirens,
She is then somewhat relieved.
Her body hits the cold floor,
And images is all her mind is allowing her to see.

Her stomach churns in painful knots,
While still holding on to her chest.
Deciding she must tell somebody something,
With her last dying breath.

Fighting to reach the phone,
As she's crawling to the table.
Her vital signs are getting weaker,
She knows then her situation is fatal.

She dials the number as quick as she can,
He picks up on the second ring.
She gasps, "It's me, I need no help,
"But I must tell you something."

"Hear my voice as it's the last time you will,
I must go, please forgive me but today is the day.
I'm going to be with him again,
I promise to you, you'll be okay."

The phone drops to the ground,
As her eyes struggle to stay open.
But she refuses to fight back,
Because her Angel is calling, today was the day God had chosen.

This is the first poem I've written for over 6 months. So, it may not be my best work. But it felt good to get some emotions off my chest. And the person i was referring to in the 8th stanza about me going to be with him again, is my brother Mikey.. May he R.I.P.. Thank you for reading!
