Romeo's Last Breathe

the story of the first time I watched life leave a body before my eyes, today.

His final breath began.

As i stared into his eyes, i recalled every fond memory. Every fun moment. Each time i recalled calling him cute.
From the black of his eyes to the light of his hair, he was beautiful.

Miserable, was the life he lived. Outside. Eating daily, but never really getting much more.

He had a love but her visits were brief and became shorter and shorter as time went by.

He found himself alone.
Though i was just through that door, he could never have known it.

He cried for me.
Recieved nothing.
He called out again and was met with lovingly ignorant arms.

Carried inside, he was nearly limp. Muscles collapsing from self-malnourishment.

Set down, his body seized. All muscles tensing and relaxing. His heart rate slowing.

Wrapped in a blanket, his body weakened further.

Suddenly he arose. In a panic, he screamed in agony.
His chest froze. All life ceased to circulate through his tiny veins.

He lie motionless on the ground. Eyes open to my pain, but he could do nothing.

His lungs continued to pump. His final motion adjusted his head and then all muscles relaxed. His small white tongue sprawled on the floor beside his head.

I could do nothing but watch and allow part of myself to die along with him. I pet his head a final time and whispered i loved him.

His final breathe was complete and i felt mine begin.

Such emotional writing beautifully described creative imagery painting a vivid picture of such a sad situation was a hard poem to read but it was very heartfelt and brought a tear to my eye.
