Yet if he said he loved me
He wheezed and sputtered raggedly as he was held up upon the cross and I could not help the tears that poured freely from my eyes.
"I've been living to see you.
Dying to see you but it shouldn't be like this.
This was unexpected, what do I do now?"
The words flew from my mouth as he asked, "Who is my mother? Where is my mother?"
"Could we start again please?
I've been very hopeful so far.
Now for the first time I think we're going wrong."
I cried harder as he said..." My god why have you forgotten me?"
"I think you've made your point now.
You've even got a bit too far to get your message home.
Before it gets too frightening we out to call a halt.
Could we start again please?"
"I'm thirsty. Oh god, oh god I'm thirsty... "
He turned his head in my direction.
"It is finished..." he looked at me.
In that moment I swear he mouthed the three words I had both longed and dreaded to hearHe mouthed 'I love you' and he smiled.
"Father into your hands I commend... my spirit!" he cried and let out his last breath.
