Last breath whispers through the night
Fading stars lose their light
I hold on but lose the fight
Shadows lengthen on the wall
Echoes rise then slowly fall
Memories break through the pall
Last breath lingers in the air
Gone too soon but always there
Love’s a fragile prayer
I reach for you in the cold
Stories left forever untold
The past is all I hold
If I could breathe once more
Would you walk through the door?
Last breath, fading light
