You hold your chest as you start to cough <br />You feel the air slowly drain as the need arises <br />I watch with glazed eyes not knowing what to say <br />I offer unstable words but I think I go unheard <br /> <br />Now there's tears in your broken eyes <br />I wish for you to breathe but you only struggle <br />You don't see passed the past <br />As your fragile heart shatters like glass <br /> <br />You so strong holding up your fist <br />I can't believe your the one <br />That has come to this <br />You so bold holding out your hand <br />I can't believe your the one <br />That cannot stand <br /> <br />I only watch with glazed eyes <br />The words escape my tongue <br />I look at grey clouds <br />They remind me of what little I've done <br />To console my genuine friend<br /><br />Moth Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/apollo-to-pan/
