breath

the pain of unanswered questions in someone's final hour

With her final breath, quietness now surrounds

I'm unable to see, in my torrent of tears I've drowned

This is the end, but how I wished it would continue

Then the 'I'm sorry', 'why did you hurt me' I can say to you

I'd inquire if you knew you could of changed things

But with your final breath- silence is the only answer you bring

I'd say 'you know what- I wish you could see me now'

Would you have done things different, some way, some how

But as I watch you breathe your final last breath

My answers have now gone- as I embrace your death

It's too late now, could I really have really been unkind

That on your deathbed, the answers I want to find

Would I feel guilty- should I let peace flow

But I look in your eyes and your true emotion is on show

There's so many things I wish I could have said

But it's too late now, as you lie on your deathbed

I hold your hand and think of the past

Knowing this hour is now finally your last

I'm sorry for the chance I let slip away

As the hurt you caused me-in my heart will now stay
