I’m running to you,

My heart is pounding.

Everyone’s looking,

Their alarms are sounding.

They don’t understand what I need,

I feel like I could die.

I have to get to you,

I can’t believe it’s really goodbye.

I can’t feel my legs,

But I’m flying so fast.

Thoughts are running in my head,

Thoughts of the past.

I reach the hospital

Then I fall to my knees.

I start to scream,

Hoping God hears my pleas.

‘Please take me too,

Don’t let this be real.’

I’m so disoriented,

My heart doesn’t know what to feel.

They rush over to me,

But they don’t know.

The love of my life is dying,

I can’t just sit here, I have to go.

‘He’s not dead, he’s not dead.’

I burst through the hospital room door.

Mom’s crying, he’s laying there.

I have a life no more.

I’m dead, just breathing,

I have to be with him, I must die too.

Mom wraps her arms around me,

But she doesn’t know what else to do.

I lay next to his body,

Still warm, but going cold.

“Baby, we were supposed to be immortal,

Together we’d grow old”

I kiss his cold lips for one last time,

I still can’t believe it’s real.

This totally ripped me apart,

From this I’ll never heal.

My tears come like razor blades,

Punishing me for all the things I’d never said.

My entire world is gone,

Lying beside me, dead.
