DYING

Disoriented,

coppery taste of blood,

a buzzing noise,

the sound of rain on metal,

shallow breathes of cramped air,

thoughts being jumbled,

everything felt like being crumbled.

Your eyes closed,

your face still,

red are my tears,

breath strangled by fear.

For a second your eyelids fluttered,

fingers twitched a little,

shallow breathes,

and a soft whisper-

Hanie...

Then everything went silent,

whitenoise disappeared,

everything stopped,

everything stilled.

Pain and agony was what kept me breathing,

seeing him stilled my heart stopped beating,

I hear it shattering,

my fears were gripping,

to despair I am yielding.

My world was ending,

my life fading,

when you stopped breathing,

I was dying.
