This would be my longest sleep..Goodbye

by Golden AnGel Rhapsodist   Nov 20, 2016


This would be the longest night, I guess
Or better said, my longest sleep.

Before my pupils never let the light come in,
One final glance at the stars... twinkling...

Before my iris never recognizes any color,
This last painting I made will be your décor.

Before my nasal cavity blocks the air,
One final moment...I will smell your hair.

Before my epidermis slowly turns numb,
I want to feel your hug…
give me some.

Before my auditory nerves hear no sound,
Say “I love you, Mommy,” say it loud.

Before my blood no longer flows through my veins,
From my toes all the way to my brain,

Before my cerebral cortex holds no memory,
Let your smile be the last thing I see.

One last touch,

one last kiss

The longest sleep…

Baby, I’m sorry…

Mom has to leave.

    I like it, even though it's in a lot of ways, sad. The way its written is very good, educational in some ways for you used some, well, not so simple medical words and phrases. That adds to the interesting part. Really good.

    Crikey, Gel, apart from this being immensely sad, there are also quite a few technical terms in relation to the body (and I didn't have to google one!)

    Excellent stuff,

    Ben
