With This Last Breath

With This Last Breath

A Poem by Teddybearlee

"
Theres always something killing me
A cancer, a heart attack, a mind that bleeds
God inflicted, self inflicted, falling to my knees
Gasping for air, grasping to life, my body seems to seize

Laying in my empty room the shadows closing in
Wondering if it matters, silently confessing my sins
Apologizing quietly to the hurt I've caused my friends
Looking back at all the times I could've made amends

  But with my last breath
   I say "I love you"
  I can embrace death
   My last tear tells you true
  It's you I'll miss, your touch your kiss
   With my last breath

This is the end of my never ending battle
Not of this killer, the reapers rattle
But of my mission to get back in the saddle
With you by my side making my soul full

I'll take the test and say something lasts forever
Even as my heart stops my soul is with you happily ever after
I swear on it all I'll leave your side never
Theres only one thing stronger than death, this love you can not sever

But with my last breath
   I say "I love you"
  I can embrace death
   My last tear tells you true
  It's you I'll miss, your touch your kiss
   With my last breath

          Breathe, I love you
          Breathe, I love you
          This is my goodbye, for now

But with my last breath
   I say "I love you"
  I can embrace death
   My last tear tells you true
  It's you I'll miss, your touch your kiss
   With my last breath
