I Hold You Still by Bill Schott
Free Form Contest writing prompt entry

Is this where we will die, my dear?

Beside the road?

Within a car?

Beneath the snow?

 

Can such a random accident

be our demise,

when roads were slick;

few drivers out?

 

Will we be missed

as days go by,

as life goes on,

after we’re gone?

 

This is where you died, my dear.

You couldn’t stay.

I held you close.

I hold you still.

 

I will stay with you, my dear.

I cannot not leave;

could never leave,

and leave you here.

From a story I read of a couple, lost under a blizzard, who journaled through their last days.
