...You...


A blinding light. 

Scratchy sheets.

A piercing shrill. 

Intoxicating smells.

 

My vision is fading. 

My mind is failing. 

I can't feel your soothing touch.

I can't hear your melodic voice.

I can't see your sparkling eyes.

I can't comprehend your words of comfort;

Nor can I feel the grip you have on my hand.

I feel my warmth leaving my body.

I feel my mind drift to space.

I feel my eyes close in exhaustion.

I feel my hand fall from yours. 

 

I find your face.

I look upon it for one last time. 

I take in your beauty; your grace.

I whisper your name.

All I want...

All I need... 

Is to see you smile.
