Just Seconds

Put your arms around me
Make this place the most secure
Take my last breath and breathe it
Place my soul into your soul

Who speaks when my heart is speaking?
Who talks while I talk?
Who bleeds when my life is bleeding?
Warm me I’m so cold
Teach my body to keep up
Please try to wake my heart
I feel so lonely now
Maybe its time to give up

Hold my hand for this moment
I’m so scared to move on
Look my light while it’s fading
There’s not time now my love

All I feel is the kiss you gave me
Your tear drop on my lips
Don’t cry, please be strong my baby
It’s your look I will miss

Only seconds after a car accident, she holds him in her arms.
This poem are his final words...

[Hello, Elle]

Absolutely beautiful. I very much enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing it. :)

Whoa! This is touching really as well as lovely.
Very well written.

[Brighid an Lasair]

This is fantastic, it really draws you into the exchange between the two characters, while still displaying the very real fear that accompanies the idea of a moment being your last.

And baby it's your look ill miss...
Sounds like the character was a bit of a rock star to be fair :)
Enjoyed the poem it really showed intellectual thoughts going on in your head.
Keep it up. Ted.
