Last Minuet

Slipping. 
That's what it is. 
The whole world is sliding. 
The cross holds me steady as i try to hold you steady. 
The world keeps slipping. 
Your eyes open. 
White is all I see. 
The world slips further. 
You take your last breath. 
The strength is gone. 
Yours and mine. 
I say I love you and kiss your forehead. 
You slip away leaving us in the wake. 
Moving on to see what is next. 
A tidal wave carries you away, but we are caught in the under tow. 
The cross still gives me comfort, but no longer any strength. 
The wake is too big. 
I cry.
