With My Last Breath

Deep within the misery of silence
find your companion beside the truth
black and heavy to reach the death
of slivers fraught with terror.

Advancing to milky smoothness
push gauze filled remnants aside
glory is the mist to obtain
lower the veil gently.

The pitch of my cry abounds
no brook to keep the sanity
that breaks the threads of others
piercing my very heart.

Little by notice I leave the
very moment of life
keep my eyes before you
though my heart beats slowly
hold it close.

The time has grown weary
by notice of shallow breath
I leave my substance behind
for love to cast its shadow
upon the sorrow bed.
No longer is love with me
but with you instead.
