Final Breath

By AllenTaylor

 It's so hard watching you drift away

Not knowing when life ends

Borrowed time, thriving on yesterdays

Hours seem to bend into seconds

I know what I'll do

Before life slips from you

 

As you take your final breath

I'll be with you, there to protect

And when your body's laid to rest

I'll remember eternity

In your final breath

 

I wonder whats on the other side

Try to find the answer to the Questions of time

You said my time with you kept you alive

Oh how I miss you, I miss your arms tonight

Now though you passed on

I still hear your sweet. sweet song

 

As you take your final breath

I'll be with you there to protect

And when your body's laid to rest

I'll remember eternity

In your final breath

 

In your final, In your final breath

I lost my will to live for me

In your final, In your final breath

Through the stream of tears I see that

 

Death is an illusion

Of your absence
