One moment

She asked for one more moment
One more second with him
That's all she wanted

She watched him slowly slip away
And she knew she didn't deserve
To ask God to save him

But all she wanted
Was one more moment
A moment to say all she had forgotten to

To tell him how much he meant to her
To tell him how much she loved him
How he meant the entire world to her

She wanted one moment
To forget the fighting
The pain they caused each other

She needed that one moment
To say everything
That she needed him to know

She only asked for one moment
To say goodbye

I don't know where this came from

Sometimes it doesn't matter where something came from, as long as you know what it means to you now. I think this is a great poem. It adequately captures that feeling that a lot of people have when faced with loss. They think they didn't have enough time, didn't say what they needed to say, needed closure, needed to hear something said, etc. Great poem =)

Beautiful. I hate it when someone losses a loved one.

In life there are far to many moments of such regret, we play out our games like we are movie stars in some cosmic film, hiding our true feelings, showing that we are tough, strong and resilliant......when the truth is, inside we are crying out to tell them we love and care for them, we want to hold them, need them etc etc, but we dont do we, we keep on playing the same stupid game, playing our makebelieve part in a film, and that is the tragedy.........Really good poem Sarah :O)
