TELL HIM (Poem)

Tell him I'm here

couple doors away

in this room forced to wait.

Like his heartbeat my feet pacing away,

like his consciousness my mind is racing away,

but here I'll stay.

Tell him!

Tell him through sickness and health

I'll be by his side till the bitter end.

I'm here...

An anchor to reality,

a lifeline we can both share.

Don't leave me!

Come back to me.

Your pain I'll continue to alleviate

I need this dark cloud to dissipate,

focus on our love - concentrate,

we're not finish here.

Fight!

Fight for us my dear.

Tell him

I'll be here wiping his every tear.

He need not fear.

Tell him!

Tell him

that's not his deathbed

just another hurdle we'll beat without fail.

I can feel his pain.

I can feel your pain;

I can,

but every second those eyes stay closed is another scar.

Every nurse coming through those doors toy with my heart

but none will break my heart

because today won't be the day we part.

I'm here.

Can you hear me?

Can he hear me?

Tell him I'm here!

We have yet to see the Eiffel Tower,

or visit Rome to see the beauty in every structure,

or taste delicacies in the heart of Libya,

or view the wonderful frescoes of the giri fortress in Sri Lanka.

See we still have rocky roads ahead,

this can't be our end.

We still have to return to the cabin

you promised me a photo by the lake, smiling.

I need to soar the skies with you by my side,

one last time,

or take a cruise, oceanview as we glide.

I need to see you laying on the sand,

our usual repartee whilst hand in hand,

or see you fishing, snorkling, driving, running, walking, writing, eating, laughing - just anything!

I just need to hear you breathing.

Stay with me.

I'm here.

Come back to me!

Please.

Don't go here,

this is not our place!

Go under our roof

when it's just me and you.

Depart after a great night of laughter,

filled with games like charade or chess,

beat me one last time,

this time I promise I won't be upset.

You've always been a winner,

so do what you do best.

Win!

Come back to me.

You hear me?

Fight for us.

I'm here!

I'm here waiting.

Tell him.

Tell him I'm here.
