I dreamed of dying in her arms
I didn't want it to be that way
Didn't want her to lose another one
Yet here it was that I found myself
Dying in her arms
I wanted to reach up
And wipe the tears from her face
It hurt to look in her eyes
Because of the pain burrowed deep within them
I began to feel my breathing grow shallow
And I didn't want her to let me go
Because if I died...
I wanted it to be in her arms
Words struggled to escape me
Then her calm convinved me
That silence was the only expression these last moments needed
I wanted to tell her that I loved her
Wished the best for her
And wanted her to stay strong
Then her touch convinced me
That she understood, and all was well
In this dream, I died in her arms
As her tears moved her to rock
Seemingly rocking me to sleep
To eternal sleep
I didn't want it to be that way
Yet here it was that I found myself
Dying in her arms
And in those last moments
I caught a glimpse of the pain shone deep within her eyes
That would never let me rest

Ok I read this one a lil while ago and I thought I commented on it but I guess not.
Anywho, I really, really liked this piece. Not only is a topic no one really wants to focus on but writing it in first person almost makes the reader think of themselves in this position to some degree.
After re-reading it I can't help but think of those who have gone one before me and if things like this were on their mind before they passed. Again, good stuff girl.
Thanks. This piece was very personal for me because I wrote it after I had actually had a dream that I died in the arms of my best friend. So...just from that...it makes me really happy to know that you like it.
