a moment whispered

a fleeting thought

a lifetime lived in one short breath

I sit alone in a quiet place

remembering a smile

a smile that in one instant

drowns out the sorrows of the world

a smile from the face of innocence

I sit and watch as the seasons change

falling like dying leaves

I sit and watch as the cold hands

choke at my existence

your not the only one your hurting

you stare expressionless

as our worlds are torn apart

I reach for your hand

why don't you reach back

God knows my heart

he knows my desire she knows my inside

and how I tear at the pain of watching you die

when I pray I'm wishing you were with Him
