My Last Breath

My Last Breath

On the ground, in my blood

I can feel my soul leaving my frigid skin

Numb are my muscles

Shooting pains like knives

I didn’t see it coming
How could I have been so blind?

I’ve always been taught better

I’ve always been smarter

Why today, of all days?

Why my life of all lives?

Departed soon, I can feel the break

I can’t move my bones shattered

I never actually wondered

What my last thought would be

On my last day, during my last breath

My mother, I couldn’t get her out of my mind

Her bright blue eyes and her endearing smile

She admired me, she loves me

I’m not ready to leave her I’m still too young

I’m not ready to take my last breath

I can’t even imagine my mothers face now

Her dispirited gaze

Melancholic life because of the one I lost

My sister, my brother, too young to understand

What death is

I never believed in a god

But now I am praying to him or her

Or whatever entity brought me here

Whatever entity is taking me away

I’m not ready yet

There’s still so much to do

I’m not ready to take

My last breath…
