And She Whispered In My Ear Poem by K.D Cox

You fell into a frozen black ocean
I caught you, and fell in myself
So that you wouldn't be alone.
I was freezing; I tried to pull you out.
You took my hand, while pulling me close
And whispered in my ear.
I struggled to keep grasp of your arm,
But you fought me.
Kicking,
Screaming,
And weeping.
And so you died without my help.
I regret to this day and know that
No matter how hard I try
I can never save you from yourself.
And still dies my heart.
