The Last Look

The darkest way to lose someone

The Last Look

Have you ever just stared

into someone's eyes

looked deep into their soul

and just knew

that it was the last time

you'd see them

and as they start to walk away

you try to speak

to tell them

it will be okay

they turn back to look at you

and you realize

there is nothing you can say

anymore

they've lost the will

the hope

and the strength to carry on

they've lost their battle

their demons are out

and seizing control

they're already gone

they just have 

one last breath

for their last look

This one is different comparing to your earlier writes yet prevailing and exciting. Reading one can feel stroke of a genius

Thank you! Overall, I think my poetry stems from reflection and the afterthought of any situation. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Always do my friend and you're most welcome

a very haunting piece...could be illness or just love that is sick beyond coming back to health...

when that look happens, there is no turning it around...the end is soon...

yes, i have seen it----and it has seen me.

Thank you, I am glad that you were able to relate to it in some way.
