It is always said that the angel of death is like a thief, he strikes anytime, anywhere. It's the second time I witness somebody passing away and it doesn’t get easier with experience. This poem is about somebody whom I took care for a short while and although it is expected that it is where she will eventually go, her death still left me reeling because death is totally the end of hope, of everything. Faced with death, it forced me to see how puny I am, how helpless, how insignificant is my worldly facade. During these moments, you came face to face with your own self. The Last Breath… As I look at you lying in your bed All kinds of thought comes into my head With your eyes closed in pain And your body twisting in vain to ease the crippling pain... I cannot help but think of how life robbed you of people that would have made your life beautiful Oh! Why is life so unfair? When God promised He is fair and square? Last night, you screamed and kicked As if the bed was the very devil himself But you were just hurting yourself Watching you I am scared myself I asked myself “What the hell is happening?” You were doing well and was even smiling since the past few days, you were not much in pain Was my hope all in vain? The doctor came to give something for the pain To ease your suffering and pain And as the medicine dulled your pain I could weep in relief from the strain Of watching you writhe in excruciating pain It was well and good Rest for the body is like food Rejuvenate the tired body and all It’s good for everyone, after all You were in a deep sleep Snoring your way till the morning While I myself snatched a few hours of sleep In between listening to your snoring Came morning, I was expecting Enough of your snoring, you will be waking In your room, I peep in to see Still snoring I see Midmorning, again I peep in your room to see Gladly, you are slowly waking up I see Breathe in, breathe out Slowly I walk out Silently not to suddenly wake you up As I was so sure you will later get up Twenty minutes later I peek in to see you looking better Your breathing getting deeper Sounding normal and slower Another half an hour is up I was expecting you to be up Waiting for you to cry out For your throat would have dried out From all that snoring that's sounds like a shout I came back to see you Only to be surprised by you As you slowly breathe your last And my tears of sorrow falls so fast... I saw you in pain, with nothing to gain I saw you at peace, at least in death, no more pain You made peace with yourself at last Although I did not expect it this fast As you let go of the past I hope you are happy at last Wherever that might be A place that could be The best place to be For all eternity...
