Dying In My Arms

by Jenni Marie   Jun 14, 2007


Remembering walking through that door
To find you lying upon the cold hard floor
Empty pill bottles were all around
Calling your name, you made no sound

Dropping to the floor beside you on my knees
Thinking 'Please be okay, please!'
Checking for a pulse and found it weak
So overcome with terror I could not speak

Barely remember calling 9-9-9 on my phone
You were right next to me yet I felt so alone
Felt my presence and tried to speak
Unaware tears were slipping down my cheeks

You consciously chose a twisted fate
And the ambulance arrived way to late
Succeeded in causing yourself serious harm
For you took your last breath within my arms

Your body became so very still
Yourself you chose to kill
You were in my life such a short time
Now I wonder why I didn't see the signs

You're thought about everyday
And still I wonder why you went away

**This happened a long time ago...but I've been thinking about it recently**

**RIP Chris**
