PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

And I'm on the same string

Dangling by a single thread

Hoping in the face of uncertainty

Knowing nothing in life is promised

Other than death and a short life



I remember the sound of your final breath

Forced, but assuredly taken

Sure, but still uncertain

Strong, yet unnerving



Watching the black curtain falling

It's hard to truthfully say

It was a surprise to actually see it coming

Cause, honestly when the time came

Only our mistakes were what bought the blame



And I'm on the same string

Releasing my hands from the single thread

Oh, I remember the sound of your final breath
