Last Breath of Fresh Air

A family gathering
Standing around a white bed and white pillow
Rain pouring from everyone's eyes
Thunder and lightning pounding and roaring
Yet it's sunny outside
Walking on nails and spikes
A man in a white coat
Brings some disturbing news
On the white bed
A man is swallowing for air
But instead he loses his breath
Like a vehicle with no fuel
His heart no longer pumps
So he's brought to his death
The end of Armageddon...
Emotionally stunned and physically weakened
Cupids arrow strikes me in my heart, literally
Everlasting pain and eternally heart broken
A man's last words could not be spoken
Plastic tubes running through his neck, throat, and ears
Lips in motion but the room remains silent
Staring at surrounding white walls
I scream silently as I see a motionless human being
I can't believe nor describe what my pupils have seen
I see a man laying on
A white bed and a white pillow
He's praying with the last wind from his lungs
I see a man laying down between
Surrounding white walls
I'm silently screaming to myself
"THIS IS NOT FAIR!"
I'm watching a man, my best friend, (My Grandpa) take his
Last Breath of Fresh Air...
