Is there something I'm not taking into account to explain everything that has happened? I am wondering as I see him sitting there, tears leaking from the corners of his eyes. His mouth forming shapes and sounds that i never wanted to hear come from them. People promise forever and this time forever is what I'll get. A lifetime locked up inside myself because of one action one mistake. Goodbye life as I thought I so well knew it hello uncertainty and second guessing.
Pacing the corridor outside the cold dark room. I picture his mouth forming the words just moments before. What was going to become, only time could tell. i never thought it would come this early but perhaps those lips spoke immanent truth. Maybe this was the end right here. How could it be? I’d had no time to prepare. Not even him, himself and his shaping words were prepared. And now as we see it his words had set his fate.
And then everything stopped.The pacing stopped, my thoughts stopped. If these were the last moments then I wasn't wasting them like this. I burst in the cold dark room seeing nothing but a bunch of white coats separating like the red seas at Moses’ orders revealing a frail man, no boy. His presence wasted away. He turned his head towards me and I saw the tears returning to the corners of the eyes.This is it he said and with that all I could hear was a solid piercing beep and his eyes closed.So long, may your lips form the words of grace from up above
