last breath

A whole in her chest
Where her heart used to be
The light left her eyes
And her skin went cold

I saw her last breath
Float away with the wind
I tried to reach for it
To save her life
But there was no use
She was gone

I felt the pain hit me
Agony and despair
I couldn't bare it
It tore at my insides
The feeling of loss
Being empty inside

I watched her last breath
Float away
And wished that it was my breath
Instead

i think this is really good!when i started reading it i wasn't sure what it was totally about.then towards the end i figured that it was sort of about a friend of yours who was hurting and you wwanted to take their pain away,and make it yours.that is just my take on...but really good job anyways!

I agree with oceanreverie in that it took a very different trail than what I had expected.

I'm sorry you feel like you want to die. Or at least, that's what I got from reading this. Sometimes we all have that feeling. That our next breath just isn't worth it. Especially after losing someone or something. Especially when they meant so much to us.

Even though we may feel like this, we usually keep going. It's in human nature to fight to live. No matter what, we do what it takes. Even if that means resorting to cannibalism.

So by you saying you wish that said person's last breath had been yours, causes worry for me.

If you find yourself getting at rope's end and you need help or someone to talk. Even if it's just needing someone to listen, contact me. Shadowofatreespirit@hotmail.com
