Have you ever felt the terror As you watch your closest friend Being dragged, right out from beneath you Away from this earth? Have you ever felt the pure helplessness As you stare into their eyes Wishing so desperately To rid them of their pain? Have you ever felt the flood of emotions As you lay your cold hand On their clammy shoulder Watching their eyes close with agony? Have you ever felt the rushing of memories As you remember the good times Where you laughed, and hard times Where you cried? Have you ever felt tha pin As you watch their chest heave Fighting for every breath Feeling so small? Have you ever felt the loneliness As you watch them slip away The pain floating from their features Feeling so alone? Have you ever sick with relief As you watch their pain subside And you kiss their cheek And say goodbye? |

Lilli, yes I have, but with my grandmother. Very nice work. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Can't say I have ever experienced this. You did a great job describing it though. Sorry for the pain! WELCOME to Passions! |

This one is actually about a horse, letting someone/thing that you love go has to be one of the hardest things in the world. By the time i had finished writing, the page was all wet and salty! Oh, and ta Whtdove, It's nice to be here |
