Is This It?
By: Danijela Zivadinovic
As the bell rings, time runs out.
The closer it gets the candlelight dims.
Silence fills the surrounding air.
Tick Tock, things are not looking too bright.
She is just nowhere in sight.
My heart pounds like a beating drum.
Nothing seems alright.
Tears begin to form in my eyes.
Her face is everywhere all around.
Darkness begins to descend while I'm in fright.
Seems like it was yesterday, we shared a hug.
Oh my Bonnie, please give me a sign.
Without you, it's only black and white.
A thought crosses my mind that you may not be alive.
If that were to be true, allow me one last breath to say 'I love you.'
I returned to the place where I last knew your presence to be.
Still, I have no idea where you are.
Any hope which exists may be intact.
From the moment I stole a glance to my right,
I collapsed to my knees with my face in my hands.
Your corpse body lay in front of my own eyes.
Now the question is, how do I say goodbye?
I crawled forward and placed you in my arms.
I didn't want to let go but I couldn't be selfish.
So as I set you free, remember to spread your wings and fly.
