I was dying I knew but still I smiled,
I was constantly lying I knew, but still I tried,
I tried to make everyone smile,
I tried to be better than a pile,

I swore to myself I will never be a burden,
I wish I knew how to make me harden,
As I could never hide my tears,
And all my deepest fears,

When everyone was asleep, I let it out,
I pour my heart out, with my mouth,
I cried for my kids, that I couldn't do enough,
I stopped being too rough or tough,

I told myself I will give it my all,
I will try to break my fall,
I fought it hard with all I have got,
'Cause living with my family is all I sought,

I hid my condition as much as I could,
I told myself to be strong, to be good,
Until one day dizziness caught me off guard,
Everything went blank, I fell in the yard.

When I opened my eyes I saw all white,
With poking instruments and bright light,
I figured it's all done, it's over,
I had to tell them all, it's now or never,

With my last breath I told my story,
I had to say it all in a hurry,
As I didn't know how much time I had,
To let it out before I depart, would make me glad,

Before I die I would let them know,
I loved them more than rain and snow,
I loved them to the core of my heart,
More than needed from my part,

I wish the situation was different,
'Cause never did I wish to leave my best friend,
The love of my life, the only person who cared,
Who loved me more than I was spared.....

P.S. Just to make it clear: this is what a woman said to her husband and loved ones, before she took her last breath, I portrayed it in a form of a story. Again a first try, hope you like it.
