God, no, no, no, tell me it ain't so! <br />Say it's not true, my heart you pulled in two. <br /> <br />Awake me from this awful dream, heads bursting, need to scream! <br />She's my sweet and precious girl, my stomach needs to hurl. <br /> <br />Impossible to accept this mortal fact, 'cause she & I made a pact; <br />She would fear no other and I will protect her, like a brother. <br /> <br />This awful truth impales my broken heart, I can't go on, with us apart. <br /> <br />What about the ones left behind, should I release myself from my mind? <br />OH, this choice, not fair to make, she was so young for you to take. <br /> <br />Sorry, death moved too fast, I could not protect you at the last. <br /> <br />But, the pacts been said, a promise made, I now will follow to your grave!<br /><br />Keith Foley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deaths-door-2/
