The Last

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 rest
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
