Uncle Jesse

not really so much for the readers as it was a release for me... hope you enjoy none-the-less.

I held your hand,
Watched your chest rise, and fall.
Your breathing, so shallow, I knew you didn't have long.
We left your side, with false hopes,
And self-comforting reasurances..
Followed by our last goodbyes.
No one expected you to go...
So soon.
