If only I had seen

The way it would end,

I would have made sure

You knew I was a friend

To lose someone

In record time

Unannounced, quickly,

Ahead of their prime,

Was the most difficult day

In this life of mine

I watched with disbelief

As your spirit and soul aligned,

Your breath not your own,

A machine doing it for you,

Your eyes closed forever

As I try to make it untrue,

The angel nurse

There by your side

Put your long hair up

As if she knew it was your pride,

I stood in disbelief

That you were never coming back

I just stared and stared

My heart turned black

It was time to go

I sent you my goodbye

See you later for the last time

I’ll always be nearby.
