Last moments

by Adelle   Sep 2, 2012


The pain and sorrow locked inside
A love for you that never died,
I'd sit by your bed wishing
Wish I I could take your pain away.

Nobody except me and you
Love at first sight we always knew;
Forbidden love stronger than ever
Wishing we could lay by each other forever.

The cold hands of death came again today
He had visited before
We had never let him take you away
Holding your hand trying to help you fight.

This time it wasn't enough
Sitting listening to your breath change;
Knowing the inevitable was on its way
Squeezing your hand trying to take away the pain

I kiss you for one last time
Wiping away your every fear
As your last breath is taken away
Knowing forever our love will stay.

    Good piece, I noticed you focused on the rhymes on some parts, I thought it will be better to focus on them in the entire piece.

    Here are my suggestions incorporated in the whole poem.
    I changed some parts, You are free to ignored all of them though or to take them into account.

    The pain and sorrow locked inside
    A love for you that never died,
    and so, my dear, I sit by your side
    wishing to heal your inner cried.

    Nobody except, you and I;
    We know, it was love at first sight
    A Forbidden love stronger than ever
    We always hope to lay by each other, forever.

    But the cold hands of death are visiting again, today,
    He fills our hearts with fright
    And just as before, we try to stop him from taking you away
    we hold your hand, we help you fight.

    But it is not enough, not this time
    I sit as I listen to your breathe downtime
    knowing the inevitable it's on its way
    I squeeze your hand, trying to take your pain away.

    I kiss you for the last time
    I wipe your tears and fears off your face,
    Letting you know, as your last breath is taken away
    that our love will forever stay
