THE END OF LIFE:
Breathe, keep breathing
For every second your life seems to slip away
And I wish I could hold it back
But I'm helpless sitting beside this cold hospital bed.
Your hands are cold, your pulse is slow
My eyes burn with tears, my soul is being slaughtered
With each passing second, you are slipping away
And I can do nothing but stare at your unconscious face.
The doctor walked out two days later
He wore a grave expression
My heart thumped against my rib cages hard
But it stopped all at once when I heard what he said.
Your pain had permanently been erased
You had found your place among the angels
Heartache ripped my soul into two
As I stared at your lifeless body on the bed.

rest in peace, johannah.
we love you, this one was for you.
all the love, ariadne. xx
