One Last Time.. Poem by Raina Hutchins

I feel your breath upon my cheek
Your heartbeat next to mine
Cradled in your arms; but know
It's just for one last time

I look into your eyes: you smile
That smile just breaks my heart
Lying here so close, but know
We're really worlds apart

As I watch you sleep
A single tear falls from my eye
I know deep down your leaving me
I know this is goodbye

I close my eyes and silently
I pray to God above
That I will wake from sleeping
Still beside this man I love

As I pray he looks at me
And gently wipes my tears
He holds me in his arms
His whispers chase away my fears

He tells me that he loves me
How much to him I mean
But suddenly I realize
It's really just a dream

For when my eyes are open
In the cold cruel light of day
I know my prayers weren't answered
I know he's gone away

What do I do now
How am I supposed to feel
How do I move on
Do I bleed, or do I heal

Do I face the truth
Or do I live on lets pretend
But sadly deep inside I know
We've reached our journeys end..
