When the night came crushing down,
there was no light and little sound;
the darkness swallowed all around,
my heart and head began to pound.
all my thoughts were racing by;
was it me who was to die?
i wished it all to be a lie,
but instead i was left to cry
she was leaving; i was here.
now it all was crystal clear.
all i could do was stand in fear,
but it was time to perservere.
She lay there, distraught with pain,
"She'll be ok," i seemed to feign.
My whole life seemed, now, mundane.
her death was mine and my heart's own bane.
Up at me, she simply gazed.
I stood there, afraid but amazed,
Her eyes looked dark and sadly hazed;
all the suff'ring left her dazed.
She lifted herself by only a bit
even in pain, she would not quit
She took my hand, her eyes now lit
She showed sadness, but only a whit
Cringing and biting back her dread
She slowly reached and touched my head
"I'll love you even when im dead...",
Are the last words she ever said.
