Leaves dance by, leaving behind some sorrow <br />Laughing in the wind, careless in their roaming <br />Tears flow down my mind to remember that day <br />Looking out my window <br />I see that window of her hospital room <br />I look out and see those same leaves <br />Hope softly drowns <br />In IVs and sympathy cards <br />She lays there <br />And wishes she weren't there <br />We cling to her, not letting her go <br />But she slips away anyway <br />Months fly away swift, taking her with them <br />Cold January morning <br />I wake up <br />And I know. <br />My head is screaming <br />My eyes are blurring <br />My feet are moving <br />My heart is breaking <br />My brain, though, cannot and will not <br />Understand <br />She lays there <br />Without moving <br />Her soul has expired <br />Leaving only a note, <br />'If I die before I wake, <br />I pray the Lord my soul to take. <br />I love you all so much.'<br /><br />Fallen Too Far<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-title-do-you-give-death/
