A Cold Summer Night
by Marley Hayden.........................................
Your shaking body wrapped in my baby blanket. The blanket I was wrapped in when I came into the world, but the blanket you were wrapped in when you left it. Boiling, salty tears ran down my cheeks splashing into my lap. I held you so gently close to my heart, wishing I could give you the life in me, so I could save you. My heart beating strong your heart beating... weaker with each beat. I sang to you, songs of how we would ALWAYS be together, whether death separated us or not. And then you looked me in the eyes and I understood. I could see the pain swimming in your black eyes, the love with which you gave to me. Then you set your head down. As the car came to a stop, we quickly hopped out of the car and raced to the building. Your blanket was opened by a doctor I sat in the waiting room as I watched you. A women came to me, wrapped an arm around, "Its something that happens Love. You poor thing..." The Doctor still listening to your beating heart 'Thud thud... Thud thud... Thud thud... silence' "NO NO NO" I sobbed, it was to late for this. It was his time. Back in the car. I moaned. I sobbed. I plead for your life. It meant so much to me. But this was hopeless. I look at the clock. 12 am on 7|7|07. I looked at your body peaceful and serene. I knew you were in heaven smiling down. This is what stopped my crying. At home I sat in my room and held you so close. And I truly felt pain. The pain not in my head or throat from sobbing and crying, but pain in the heart. "I'm So Sorry" were the words I struggled to get out through a broken heart. But in my heart I knew, that you'd come back when I called you, there was no need to say good bye. I laid you into your Happy Hut and told you I loved you first.
