PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As you lie on your deathbed

I hardly know what to say.

There's so much to tell

But I need more than just today.



It's hard to find

Just where to begin.

There's so many places

That we haven't yet been.



I try to sputter out

Exactly what I feel

But I still don't believe it

The situation is so unreal.



I don't want you to go

No, not just yet.

There's so much in life

That I just don't get.



I need your advice

And I still need your help.

It's always so precise

No one else's comes close.



But I see you're slipping away

So I close my eyes tight

And think back to another day

When the future was still bright.
