The Man in Black

I said I'd wait.

I don't think that's possible anymore.

Even in the darkness, I know

you're not there. I wish you were.

I feel the pain coming.

Is it supposed to feel numb?

I wouldn't know, I've never felt

this much pain before.

Someone squeezes my hand.

I wonder if that's you

and you have returned to say goodbye.

I want to say goodbye

But no words come out.

Instead I sit quietly on my bed

and hold your hand for the

last time ever.

I feel it come before it's there.

One more breath, is all I have

left. I squeeze your hand once more

and let the man in black lead me on.
