Death Took Her Away

Breathing,
Taken for granted
Everyday, by everyone
But not me

She was my breath
The light to my world
My heart
Taken by death

I held her in my arms
Feeling the life being drained from her
As her heart slowed
Starting to loose its strong rhythm

She looked at me
Claiming my full attention
Leaving everything behind us
Everything forgotten

She said
To live without love is to die for no reason
I had you
So death may come
Death may come

As she closed her eyes
Her heart ceased to beat
Breaths came no longer
Death came
Death took her away
