Perspective
I died today
As I watched you slowly fade away
And with fascinated horror
Could not avert my gaze
Live for me
You begged me silently
As your eyes connected with mine
But your plea was lost
Because within my mind a single
Unrelenting thought
Pushed out all the rest
“I’m so glad it isn’t me.”
I could never be the hero
Like you who
Gave your life to save my own
In that position
I could
I would
I did
Selfishly
Only think of me
But a coward dies a thousand deaths
They say
And only now that my path is set
Along that course
Can I truly understand
What those words mean
Today was just the first of many
And I will spend the remainder of the life
I held so dear
Dying all the rest
