Sonadow: My final hour

I feel your tears, like snowflakes they fall upon me

Cold and Bewilderd

I feel your heart begin to race as I lay my fingers gentley on your chest. Like a fearful hare, fleeing from danger

I feel your eyes rest their crestfallen gaze upon me once more. A glint of pride still sparkles in the dark depths of your despair.

I feel your heart pound uncontrollably against my hand

With all your effort, you slowly smile at me, as though everything were alright

You murmur to me in a voice stripped of all its tone

I try to remember your old voice, the voice that sang to me without a failing key, the voice that was like velvet to my ears, cheerful and reassuring.

"I'm leaving now, but I'll come back for you some day, I promise."

You take my hand in yours and hold me for the last time.

My heart aches at the thought of losing you. I look away, my eyes swelled with tears as I sob angrily at you.

Why? Why of all people in this world did you have to go? I don't understand…

I don't understand…

My fingers are still and your hands are cold.

I look back at you, your eyes dull and your body is lifeless.

Streams run down my face as I stare in anguish.

Hands grip my shoulders firmly as they begin to pull me away from you.

Rage fills me till I'm bursting at the seams.

I break away from them and run back to your side, clenching your dead hands in my own, wishing I could breath life into you once more.

I wait…and I wait…and I wait for your warmth and liveliness to return…

But it never did…

And in never will…

And all I can do is live on, with you in memory and hopefully see you again someday….
