Only Dreams Last Forever

Brief intro: This started as a simple feedback project and turned into a great two-sided story of the last moments we have in life

A collaboration done by Nerdy Nini and Myself.
————————————————————
My body laid there, still skeleton with broken hopes. My dreams were taken n my love was forever unmentioned. Thoughts danced in my mind, raced, showing moments of laughter. Would you remember me? Would you dream of me? Pain shoots through my body, skin so delicate. I turn my head and see you there, staring at me like you were yesterday. My hands reach for you but you fade...I wished he wasn't drunk. I wished I wouldn’t have changed lanes. Should I say goodbye? Can I be healed? Can I be saved?

Call in the night. Shattering the peace. The one you love. She lays lifeless and cold. Fading quickly. Racing to her. Thoughts of us. The night before… her warmth as she lay next to me. Her smile and her laugh. Soft lips and her kiss…flashing lights and panic. Twisted metal and smoke. Blood and tears. Fearing the worst. She doesn't make a sound. Eyes still shining bright. Life leaving her quickly. I reach for her hand, soaked in blood.  Last words leaving her lips.
 “Im sorry darling…I never meant for this to happen.” 
“Not to worry love, you’re gonna be OK… Everything’s gonna be fine…”
A kiss on the lips. A gaze into her eyes…Can she be saved?…Can she be healed?

He tried to be positive, but i could see the horror in his eyes…I was numb and could not feel the thorns of glass piercing my skin, or the steering wheel in my knees. Yet I could feel his touch and I got to see his shaky smile and that was good enough for me.
“Death seeks me love, you have to let me go, I lo….”
Those were my words before I too faded. This is how I spent my last moments, this day was my last. I got to see him one more time before my life passed. I was healed and saved by you.

My porcelain doll. Torn and broken. Tears rolling down her cheek. Shaking and scared in the cold. The darkness begins to choke out the light. My everything is leaving me. The color is fading from her skin. Her eyes don't shine anymore. Her lips quiver with her last breath. She smiles one last time. She whispers that its her time.
  “…I have to go now…” 
Then she fell silent as those three words left her lips. I remember that night, when the snow flakes began to fall. Just as they fall now, following her into the ground. The cold chokes my words. So I whisper back to her…
" …I love you too."
