The piercing pitch
Struck the air
Breaking
The still silence of
The Hot summer afternoon affair
Woken from her
sunny slumber
She fumbled for the phone
Grasping it close
To one ear
Unable
to hold on
Or Push through the fear
The voice became distant, mute
Clanging to the ground
With tears trailing
In quick pursuit
All she could do was
stumble through
One last, and final,
A simple,
I love you.
Till death do us part
They had whispered
As vows eagerly escaped
Their anxious lips
A promise made true
But both still too young
To have it follow through
The encroaching Amber waves
Licked the steep hillside
Lapping up the last
Of the safe spot
That the grassy wake
Did provide
With eyes closed
He mouthed hushed
Goodbyes
Muttering one last
I love you
As her face came to rest
As the final thought
On his mind
Till death do us part
Was sealed with a kiss
And both smiles grewThe piercing pitch

They had had everything right
Checked off each item
Up and down their list
But alas
Borrowed became their time
And blue was the sky
Neither were old enough
On that wretched day
When he left her behind
As she stood overtop
Of the sleek
Wooden grain
A tear fell from her face
Scaling the curved surface
Until it found the scorched earth
In much need of its' grace
One hand
Placed over
His heart
All she could do
Was muster
A shortened gasp of
A final
Till death do us part.
