Love Is Watching Someone Die

I will never forget the beeping

It was the only thing that indicated that your heart was still beating

And that your soul would remain trapped within this temple

Until we realised our selfishness

And let you go

So you could return to your maker

Love is watching someone die

Safety Net

And as you left this realm to ascend to the next

I knew I would have to catch her as she fell to her knees in a desperate plea

I couldn't let this be her end

Her life had barely begun

Fifteen and fatherless

I couldn't lose both of you

And who else would catch her if not me?

Any Other Way

He left the room and I followed silently

I knew he needed someone to tell him that everything was okay

He'd lost a father too

But when I touched his hand he looked back at me bewildered

"You're not suppose to see me like this," he said

"You don't need to be the one who is strong right now."

But I didn't know how to be any other way
