I Cannot Go

Member since 2004 · Posted 9 Oct 2004 · 2 comments

My eyes are closed once again Lying here, I wait for the end Breathing slowly in quiet motion I have not yet noticed the commotion The white door has come back Offering to replace all I lack As I carefully reach for the bright hue My thoughts are flooded with memories of you Your loving smile and gentle touch I will always know why I love you so much I think for a moment and then understand I am not ready for this life to end My heart still has so much love to give All I need is one more chance to live I cannot let go of my physical being At this moment I am all knowing and seeing The call has been made for me to go But I cannot deny how I love you so With these words unsaid and completely true I cannot leave until I have wholly loved you

It started out alright, but then it got pretty corny.

Not your best. Too many words. Good thought though.
