[hometext] => Smoking kills. Suffocating to death and knowing why is a punishment beyond cruelty.
[bodytext] => Alone in a dim, silent room, we wait around The occasional stir or cough the only sound A sweet smell of sterile is almost too much Clean and crisp seem offended by my touch Is this how it is going to be for both of us To celebrate our lives so quiet without fuss I really want to wake you but I don/'/t dare I/'/ll keep sitting here with my vacant stare We had it all throughout these many years There was sun, and rain, laughs, and tears Remembering how it was, way back when Can/'/t help questioning why /'/this/'/ is, then Life was for living, so into tomorrow we slid Every new day, that/'/s exactly what we did Did we do wrong, well, of course, we had We were young, fearless, really quite mad Not a care to be found, none ever bought Yes, we were immortal, or so we thought It was just a game to play for you and me Winner laughs last, no rules, we were free How could you leave me, I/'/m older than you You are but a child compared to me, it/'/s true And you are taking something I held dear From the day we met, it was yours, I fear In shadowed silence with tears painting my face Will you please wake so we can leave this place I always have and still to this day, love only you Don/'/t you know we still have lots of living to do Sadly, I/'/m trying to figure out what went wrong You/'/re lying there and I can tell it won/'/t be long Overheard them say that sound is Death/'/s Rattle I guess you/'/re very tired of this despicable battle My musings are interrupted with much disgust They keep coming in here to fiddle and adjust You/'/re leaving me now, this much is known Here I am, crying, I was, always, yours alone Yours alone and you/'/re leaving like it/'/s nothing Still I wish I could take away all your suffering Nothing for the cancer eating you from inside And nothing for the pain of how you finally died Gazing at the face I had loved for eons untold Your tiny hand in mine, limp and so horribly cold For us to part this way, seems I/'/ll never know why I lean in for one last kiss, goodbye, my Love. Goodbye.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
