Last words

a free verse about the last moment of love before it goes beyond this realm

        Last words

                                                                                      -Anokita Chaki

 

In the last few moments of my life laying on my bed

I’d feel my soul slipping from my grasp, my hand growing colder, eyes blurrier

 

But even in those vulnerable moments

Might be I’d still hear your sobs

Might be I’d still feel your fears

Might be I’d still feel your thoughts paranoying u to the point u can’t breathe

Might be I’d still hear your heart beating faster and your breaths sharper

 

Within that very moment id try to get up, hug you and say that I’m ok

I’d desperately try to comfort you

But my hands would have grown too cold

And my soul would have almost slipped from my grasp by now

 

I’d remember my life to be like the tears your eyes now shed

Where each moment comes and goes followed by a new on but not forever.

 

Then when the moment finally comes and I know that it’s time for me to go

Holding on to the last bits of life I’d hid from death

The faint words would escape my mouth

Giving you a last glimpse of the smile you once loved

 

I’d say “I’ll miss you”

And smiling back you would say “me too”.
