Lullaby

by Soraya Lowe   Jul 26, 2006


It took all I had to keep from crying
As I looked directly into her eyes
My best friend was slipping away from me
She was headed for a different life

I cradled her in my arms
As I tried not to cry
Her body was beginning to chill
She was ready to die

She then began to hum
And I let a tear drop
Her weak voice was so beautiful
I felt my heart was about to stop

She then sang,

"When the last grain of sand falls
When our bones turn to dust again
We'll fly together, beyond the sun
Until the end of time"

She then smiled weakly at me
As I took her hand in mine
"I'll never forget you"
I whispered to her
She then said goodbye

Her body went cold
Her eyes went blank
And just like that,
She died...

    The title and the beginning reeled me on and I found myself having to read on but the ending wasn't what it could have been, it just seems to be missing a few words. Maybe you could say 'she callously died' instead of 'she died'. Just seems to end so bluntly. Other than that though good job, 5/5. Em x
