My Last BreathA Poem by TaraAs you turn awayI look at the empty room around me You take my hand and look at me with saddened eyes I take a deep breath You lead me away from the public eye The room closes in on me You pull me to a stop and meet my eye I clench my fist and squeeze my eyes shut You say your words slowly and quietly-like your explaining something to a scared child I lift the gun to my head You kiss my forehead softly I ready the gun for it's duty Your hand leaves mine Tears fall down my cheeks You turn away I take my last breath
