Whispers

sickwillie

I was up all night
In a waking dream
I held you tight
And whispered screams

"Please don't go"
All I could say
But my eyes closed
And you slipped away

Could not be saved...

I was holding breath
In hopes of sleep
Or were it death
Whichever most deep

"Please don't go"
I heard you say
My lungs awoke
And there you lay

This life is saved...
