Insufficient hours : Death Poetry

written by Poet : Tricia Pajak


 

Hold me as I die slowly in your arms

Close your eyes and fly away with me

I’m high above the clouds looking down onto the world

Watch the stallions gallop through sand and the waves crash at their hooves

Watch the dew drops form on a single leaf, the weather misty and cool

Watch the trees sway in the wind and the birds shake in their bathing pool

Watch the children laugh and play amethyst all their wildest dreams

Watch the ripples in the waters of mountains beautiful streams

Watch the days pass into months and the months turn to years

Watch the smiles of the people that quickly turn to tears

Watch the trees as they shed their skin that kept them so hidden

Watch the feelings unfold with their deepest secrets forbidden

Watch life in all its intricate colors for nothing can compare

Come back down with me now for life also brings despair

Watch my eyes as they slowly begin to lose their sense of sight

Stare into them for they will not go without a fight

Watch my hands as they begin to lose their grip with yours

Hold on tighter for this is not my choice of course

Watch my muscles as their strength slowly begins to fade

But close your eyes now, think about the memories we made

Long walks on the beach and quiet nights on the mountain peaks

Long drives into the night, blasting music that makes it right

Long nights laying together wishing this moment could last forever

Open your eyes, come back to me now

Ive been trying to hold on somehow

Put your hand over my mouth as my breath begins to quicken

Put your other hand over my heart, feel the pain deep within

Put your chest behind mine as you hold my body from falling away

Place your head upon mine for it is my final day

Hold back your tears from falling as I hold in mine

Lets pretend for just one moment that everything is fine

Your holding me, im under you, just one more night under the moon

Forget about the terror that will take place soon

Just close your eyes one more time well dream of better days

Of changing beautiful memories on those endless summer days

It felt like it’d last forever though we knew the inevitable was true

Still I couldn’t help but give all of my broken heart to you

So hold it in your hand as it begins to fade away

Listen to my voice whisper that its okay

Breath in deep with me as I release my one last breath

I release my mind to you as I now know death

You hold my lifeless body as you begin to cry

You feel my arms around you, an angel just learning to fly

You cant see me but im there, my wings as white as snow

This is true I promise you, time to let my body go

For I am not there any longer, my soul is flying free

But you hold my heart in your hand and there it will forever be
