Eternally
Between the tears falling like soft rain
On a bed crisp, sterile and white
Their conversation was trapped eternally
in the glare of fluorescent white light…
She said: "I shall perish without you!"
He said: "In your heart I never will die."
She said: "I beg of you…baby don’t leave me."
He said: "Oh baby I’ll love you always, don’t cry."
She said: "Who will bring me my morning sunshine?"
He said: "I’ll send it to you each day from the sky."
She said: "Baby please just let me go with you."
He said: "Dear one someday together with angels we'll fly,"
Sadly she watched his breathing turn shallow
She held his hand as he breathed his last sigh
Now she hoards away all their past memories
Until that day when she learns how to fly…
