Bright Shooting Star [Poem]

How is it we feel joy and sadness on equal measure Though our moments with you we will always treasure The first time you opened yours eyes, the first finger cuddle The tears that we've shed drowning us like puddles The glimmer of hope now hanging by a thread The gloom of our inner voices never wanting to be heard The walls feel closer as they start to close in As we try to stave off how this could all end Yet there was always this tiny glimmer of light As you continued to so valiantly fight. Again and again you showed so much heart The pain that we're feeling, where do we start You are slowly slipping, edging away Knowing we'll not be with you at the end of the day. I hold you in my arms as you feel the warm breeze on your skin Absolutely heartbroken, I'll never get to do this again. One last breath and you've passed in the blink of an eye Like a bright shooting star across the beautiful night time sky Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
