This is just a poem I had the had to write, it takes place from Horatio's POV at the hospital while saying goodbye to Marisol (i know i'm going back a few years here)

I know it's short, but I hope you like it!


Living to Die

Stepping in the hall My footsteps echo Knowing these would be my last moments with you I prayed for time to slow

Haven't known you long And knew my time with you maybe limited But I swore to stay by you No matter how your struggle ended

You fought And while you fought you went through pain
However, in the end, you won
And I wish things could stay the same

You fought so you could live
But only after fighting were you set up to die
I'm now here to watch you slip away
To stay here until you close your eyes

This was it as your hand went cold
This was goodbye
I hate to think this was because of your love for me
That led to your demise

You were, indeed, living to die


Like i said, very short. Hopefully it wasn't too corny (I have a habit of writing corny stuff)

Please review!
