I Watched as You Died

The sun has set. It traveled, slow and steady, down the sky as I sat there watching. I watched as it descended. I watched as it dimmed. I watched as the world changed colors. I watched as the day shed its skin. I watched as the end of the brightness came. I watched as darkness won. I watched as darkness won. I watched as you died. 

The color drained from your face. Your heartbeat moved and changed, slower and slower as I sat there watching. I watched as your life line took a dip. I watched as your body fought to live. I watched as your body lost the fight. I watched as your body convulsed. I watched as you realized the end was near. I watched as you took your last breath. I watched as you took your last breath. I watched as you died. 

My sun had set. My sky bled into utter darkness, sudden and morose, it overwhelmed my entire existence as I sat there watching. I watched your lifeless eyes as I tried to revive you. I watched all our memories change form and dress in gloom as I pushed your heart and pumped your blood. I watched everything break and fall apart as I screamed my air into your dead lungs. I watched as I took my last true breath. I watched as I took my last true breath. I watched as you died.
