Last Thoughts of a Fighter

As the dark days come upon us, I think
I think of the good days between us two
But those days were gone in the eye's quick blink
I think of you as the best man I knew
I remember those dark nights of terror
Until finally it was you I'd see
We started this through trial and error
You would sit and listen to my soft plea
The darkest day to memory; your death
I never felt so alone 'till that night
I held you though your soft, shaky last breath
Without you I didn't think I could fight
But now I stare down at my own demise
I think 'Once more I will see your blue eyes'
