The Void Poem by Alexianna Brandhagen

Can you feel me?
Holding you safe,
Here in my arms.
I feel your heartbeat,
Your breath,
But nothing else.
Do you sleep?
Are you awake?
I cannot know.
Please wake up!
Can't you hear my cries?
Your heartbeat slows,
Your breath becomes more shallow,
And you seem to pass into the void.
Please don't leave me!
You are my conscious,
The only one I can trust!
Please stay with me!
I cannot live without you!
Your heartbeat stops,
Your breath comes to a halt.
I feel strong arms wrap around me,
Holding me and begging me not to leave,
And I feel myself become lifted out of my body.
And soon I realize that it isn't you who is dying,
It is me....
