The Last Words (this was written by my daughter when she was 14)

It died today
He walked away from me forever
Each foot
stepping stepping stepping
like a hammer to my head
pounding pounding pounding
Each step echoing
through the darkness
that now fills my heart
I called his name 
yelled
screamed
but he did not flinch
did not turn till 
the end
When he looked back
at me
and I at him
and he
spoke spoke spoke
the words that burned in me forever
"I loved you"
"I Love you"
I cried
Love Love Love
"I still love"
He looked again
into tear stained 
eyes
"I don't"
