One Last Heart Beat

One of the bullets connected with me

Not intentional I know but still fatally

Emergency rescuers were dispatched but they’ll be too late

Life was slipping away quickly, I had no strength to wait

All her efforts couldn’t stop my blood flow

She regretted the accident and I did know

Though not planned this was bound to be

Her fears made her overly cautious and jittery

Every time I came through the door

A light went on quickly but the light lit no more

Recently there was a power failure and it damaged the wire

Tonight in the dark I only heard gun fire

Bullets pierced my body and I fell at her hands

Everything was lost including my wedding plans

And I remembered the joy she gave yet never feeling complete

Then she kissed me, said I love you, then just One Last Heart Beat
