Alma

They say your life flashes through your eyes... I wouldn't know, but once again, I try to understand things I never will. Written after my great-great aunt died, trying to understand her, as I barely knew the woman.

The hands holding mine

Were the last I would touch

And the only ones I needed to.

I still feel the squeeze on mine

From the last moment,

Still smell their breath.

I still remember….

When I first held these hands,

When they were young,

When I was young.

Tears were on my bedside,

And I begged them not to cry.

Not for me.
