His Dying Words (2nd draft) (Free verse) by Ranger
Time slowed, and for an instant it seemed
Forever, he was granted
The eternity he required
To explain how much more he wished he'd loved her
And within a fraction of a cricket's song
His final breath floated away
With the wonderful words she longed for
As they dissipated into the echoes
Of a deserted corridor
"I love you too", she wept
But her child would never know
Just how much so
Condolences and cards rang hollow
The maternity ward faded to silence
