ALL I ASK YOU

October 21, 2014

All he asked me was not to cry

He had a rather large fear of people saying goodbye

He said, "you are a dreamer. A beautiful dreamer."

I said "I am also a believer. A constant believer. I believe in you."

His heartbeat went by slowly

The machine beeped slowly

He tried to move but his pain

Stopped him, in vain

He said, "look child! I see the light!"

I tried and I tried to fight

To keep his promise

But I couldn't with all my might I tried

The machine beeped one last time

And I cried.
