Her breathing, slowed by age and her decease...............i think a little oops! she is CLOSE to decease, but maybe you meant disease? i THINK, though THAT would mean two letters are needing to be corrected. if i'm wrong, please explain. :) this poem makes me, the reader, work a bit, keeping in mind the punctuation when sentences span more than one line. but, Thanks for punctuation. it IS helpful! i was not sure that these lines needed the commas, but...........you are the boss. :) :) Alone, my own, alone for rest of time. ...........she said or you said? and if it was the dying one, and she believed in an afterlife, why would she seem to say she would be alone? rest of time? ..........of course this might mean 'taking a nap for a while', not 'all of future's time'. i'm not so used to such high class poesy, except when the poet is YOU! bri :) i'm guessing this poem is not 'personal'. at least not about an event you were involved in. right or wrong? ?
