One Last Kiss

by Alexa   Jun 21, 2004


You aren't what I remember
I can't recognize your face
Tears welling in my eyes
I slowly begin to pace

Your hair is gone
Your eyes big and wide
Breathing so heavy
Arms rest aside

I watch you begin to wheeze
Slowly begin to cough
Blood splatters on your shirt
I can't risk your loss

I can't decide what to do
Without you I don't want to finish my lifeline
I tightly grip your hand
Stare into your eyes on last time

Your head rolls back
Movement halts on your chest
"No, no!" I cry
Hoping all the best

The best never came
I feel so alone
I feel so ashamed
Wishing I could have been there with you so many more days

The funeral was dull
Tissues dappling all eyes
I walk up to your casket
Give you a kiss one last time

But here I'll always love you
A day won't pass me by
When I won't think of you
And that last day by your side.

    Very good work! And you should get 5/5 for that theme itself. I don't know why you have messed up the rhythm in between.. If you ignore that....It is an amazing work! ***** :)

    Yes, rhythm and rhyming are new to me, so they aren't as good as I want them to be. But thanks a lot for commenting and I'll be sure to try hard on my weaknesses next time (=

    Hey Alexa. Nice work here. You did an excellent job. I agree with David about the rhyming scheme, theme and wording. Keep up the good work.

    Very nice theme
    Very nice rhyming scheme
    Very nice wording

    Not so nice rhythm (flow)
    Some lines were way too long in words when compared to their rhyming counterpart.

    You made it work somewhow though

    Overall nice poem
