.. <br />The alcohol had closed my eyes. My breathing <br />is heavy and my thoughts are of you. <br /> <br />Not long ago, you went to sleep and never <br />woke up. <br /> <br />There are some that know, when death <br />is near. Did you know you was dying? <br />Did you cry out? <br /> <br />Did I fail you, as the spirit of the grape <br />had made me numb. Deaf. <br /> <br />Or did you simply...drift off, into that <br />peaceful beyond. <br /> <br />I shall never rest, until I know the <br />answer. <br /> <br />Perhaps, in another time...in another place, <br />I shall find the answers. <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/did-you-die-because-of-me/
