Phantasma

One more time
One more moment
One more place
One more memory

to place in the past
is being recalled in
the present.
Thank you for being
here with me in this
once more.

Goodbye is not
what I need
to hear this time
so Ill replay
all of the time before
I faded from your eyes
and your life faded from mine.



I'm using my fingers
to try to breathe in the
air that keeps me alive.
But that same
air was not sufficent for you.

Goodbye is not
what I wanted
to say just when
you fell through
my grasp.

One more memory
one more place
one more moment
one more time
that I watch you die.
