The End...

I was waiting for him, waiting where I always would,

He promised to come, promised as he should.

Our time so far was happy and gay,

I told him I was leaving on vacation next day.

And so I was waiting, longing to be with him,

Fear grew in me as lights began to dim.

I waited some more, I waited so long,

I saw day give in to night’s silent song.

I was worried and wounded and helpless and sad.

I left without a word for the journey I’d planned.

He called me not, nor sent me a text,

I was unsure of his safe being and health.

Days passed by and my concern increased,

My body was fine, but my heart was diseased.

Storm was at hand, rough was the night.

Even the moon and the stars hid well out of sight,

Something so cruel was waiting ahead,

So loud was the crash, the night too fell dead.

I woke up, but my loved ones moved on.

Death showed no mercy, and life played along.

I knew in that moment my time too was short,

What I lost was beyond my belief and  thought.

I grieved for my loved ones I had lost in a blow,

But I was happy for I too was certain to go.

But, Death yet showed no mercy, life still played along,

I had more time at hand before I too was gone,

I came home, all by myself,

So distant felt those pictures lying idle on my shelf.

I had no visible bruises, not one you could see,

But my soul was departing for I felt that in me.

I ran out of home, I went back to the place

Where I had once waited for him with hope on my face,

I lost track of time, I know not when he came,

I felt my heart beat when he called out my name.

The agony, the grief, and the pain my eyes held,

He knew what had happened before I could tell.

But what hit him hard was the part yet to come,

He knew in his heart what I too would become.

And then was heard no truth and no lie,

Or anything else that words could defy,

We made love in silence divine,

There then was no distance, not his, not mine.

I was in his arms then,

Our body and soul united again,

I told him I’m tired

He kissed me softly, “don’t worry baby,

I will put you to sleep” he said.

I nodded; he kissed me and tightened his grip,

And held me in his strong arms, where I peacefully slept, until...

My body went cold.
