As Blue As Midnight

As Blue As Midnight

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

As blue as midnight, he left me

So indescribably blue

 

By his bedside, my tears fell like rain

Life with him was so damned insane

Unsure if I would ever hold him again

Endowed with a kiss upon his forehead

 

As he looked up at me, with those sad brown eyes

Someone just said, "It's time to go, now." it was the nurse

 

My heart was heavy as I left his hospital room

I had such scared feelings, I was shaking at the knees

Damn, why did this have to happen to us?

Now the doctors say, he has a fifty/fifty chance

I'm afraid of losing him, as I walk out the door

God, I have so many questions racing in my mind

Hard to explain why I stayed with him all those years

The doctor is in the hall waiting for me, I know he is gone

I'm dealing with death at the moment. So this strikes me in a very personal way. Which is what it's meant to do. Nice job~it was confused and touching all at once which is what the realities of death are.
