Your last breaths

One minute you were here
smiling and laughing

One minute you were here
Telling jokes and messing around

One minute you were here
Smoking cigarettes and enjoying life

One minute you were here
Happy. Healthy. Alive...

The next minutes were different
Cancer crept up like a bird to its prey

One minute you were here
trying to keep fighting

One minute you were here
you couldn't eat much

One minute you were here
to weak to hold yourself up

One minute you were here
you needed an oxegyn tank to breathe

One minute you were here
Family surrounding your bed

One minute you were here
but my mom made me leave

The next minute you weren't here anymore
fifteen minutes after we left you took your last breaths

I miss you uncle Carty rest in peace. It's been almost eight years since I've got to see your face. I love you
