My Dying Words Poem by Jessie Marie Ray

Crimson drops break the silent night
It is now that I will give up my fight
I stare up at the ceiling watching it fade away
I know now that I will be okay
I tried my hardest not to let us end
And when it did my heart never did mend
I felt sick and queasy
Death really isn’t that easy
I sat up in time to puke all over my floor
I got up and stumbled to the door
As deep as the cuts were I still wasn’t dead
I even took all your stupid meds
I fall to the floor just inches from the door
It was your name I really did call for
I wanted you by my side
I wanted it to be you that I did confide
My dying words of a life that would end
All because her heart wouldn’t mend
