I'm Sorry...

Words are said
And feelings are hurt
The fuse is lit
And then nothing
Can stand in the way
The hand balls up
The fist makes contact
And someone is hit
A thud is made
Tears fall down
A heart breaks
And all is lost
Reality has gone
Dreams are nowhere
He walks away
She falls
He turns
To late
She says "I'm sorry"
He says "No"
She stands and repeats herself
She takes her hand
And places it on his cheek
And all you hear is
"I love you"
A single tear falls on her cheek
She grabs her stomach
And collapses a final time
She gives him a smile
And holds out her hand
He grasps it in his own
She squeezes it
And then breathes a final breath
He held her as she died
She held on for as long as she could
What he didn't know
Was she was already hurting
And there was nothing
To save her
Or stop what was eminent.
