if you stop breathing, I will follow… (Photo credit: Dead Air)
If you stop breathing I’ll follow he said
Down through the whirlwind, wherever I’m led
Six feet so deep in earth and in stone
Holding your hand so you’re never alone
If you stop breathing I’ll hold you he cried
Love that’s eternal is never denied
Here in my arms where our romance has bled
Down through the whirlwind, wherever I’m led
If you stop breathing I’ll join you he prayed
Never to falter and never dismayed
If you stop breathing I’ll follow he said
Down through the whirlwind, wherever I’m led

Inspired by the amazing image I’ve used and its title which I found when looking up an image for another poem. 🙂

So pretty
Tells of a great love and overwhelming anguish at the time of passing. Truly a tearful message.(on a rainy day)
Thanks John, this is a personal favourite of mine, the line was inspired by the photo I used and the poem just sort of appeared like a song. 🙂
I’d have held my breath deliberately just to see what he did.
