I Cannot Go (Free verse) by TLRufener
My eyes are closed once again
Lying here, I wait for the end
Breathing slowly in quiet motion
I have not yet noticed the commotion
The white door has come back
Offering to replace all I lack
As I carefully reach for the bright hue
My thoughts are flooded with memories of you
Your loving smile and gentle touch
I will always know why I love you so much
I think for a moment and then understand
I am not ready for this life to end
My heart still has so much love to give
All I need is one more chance to live
I cannot let go of my physical being
At this moment I am all knowing and seeing
The call has been made for me to go
But I cannot deny how I love you so
With these words unsaid and completely true
I cannot leave until I have wholly loved you
