The Last Words


I was neither your companion nor your confidante
I was neither your spouse nor your sibling.
Yet I heard your last words!
Your sweet heart did not hear your last beat
Your soul mate did not witness your soul depart
Yet I did!
A stranger in a white coat
A stranger responding to a code
I held your hand until it turned cold
I caught your final glance until it went blank
I felt your heaving breaths until the terminal gasp
And I heard your last words... "This ain't an end but a start of another new one for my soul"!
