You get that dreaded call. <br />You shake. <br />Racing to her arms, <br />Feelings of helplessness, <br />Overwhelms you, <br />You pray. <br />Bargaining for just one more day, <br />To say, I love you! <br />Just to find that it's too late. <br />You cry. <br />And cry more. <br />Looking for answers, you search your mind. <br />Going through the files of your last words, <br />Then it comes. <br />You realize. <br />It was the last time you saw her. <br />Your last conversation, <br />You had closure. <br />Knowing that she loved you, <br />Your time together a gift from Heaven. <br />Whether long or short, <br />You realize how precious life is, wanting to hold on a little longer. <br />You fight against the clock. <br />As you go into shock. <br />The clock goes tick tock. <br />Wanting one more breath, <br />Never wishing her to taste death, <br />Your will is for her to live longer than you. <br />You think. <br />This can't be happening. <br />I just saw her. <br />Then suddenly, she's taken like a roaring violent wind in the night. <br />Her heart stops. <br />The doctor walks out, and says, he did all he could. <br />Your heart pauses. <br />You find. <br />You're no longer a mother. <br />Her life taken, <br />Suddenly, <br />You die with her, not feeling life. <br />You become numb as a wife. <br />Not understanding what gets you through the days, weeks and months turn into years. <br />You just went through sudden death<br /><br />Patricia Kelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sudden-death-13/
