Un(dying) Love

Gasping for breath
amongst rampant flashes of memory.
A certain death
requires passive resistance.

A holding hand provides comfort
as do the words of 
your undying love.
But the shadow converges
on my soul as
hope dwindles for 
another chance.

Wild passions have
brought me thus far
and loving grace
cannot be replaced
by a flailing 
starving heart.
