The Last

The Last

by CL

Late at night

I think of the ones I love

So real now

But for how long

Unpredictable futures

Darkness enters

Water exits

Rebirth forgotten

I see my life moving on

Theirs ending

Refusing to accept that

We all take our last breath

Inevitable

Anticipation destroying

Precious lives ticking

When I can anticipate no longer

I will see their eyes still

Surreal now

For life seems so long

Bittersweet events of the past

Will make my body still

My eyes will smile

Drifting closer until
Darkness turns into light
As the sun illuminates the night
