as we fall

calm

he held my
hand as the
tears fell...
drip
drip
it's okay. we'll be okay.

he kissed away the
saltiness on my
cheeks...
we will survive.
we always do.

and then it was my turn
to hold you instead,
to comfort you
even as i faded before
your eyes...
you will make it through this.
you are strong.

and now
though my chest
has ceased to
rise and fall
and though my eyes
are glassy
i smile in my
grave because
you have found peace.
