A few lines that are haunting me

Stay by my side as my light grows dim /

    as my blood slows down and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain /

    as my heart grows weak /

    and the wheels of my being turn slowly /

Stay by my side as my fragile body is racked by pain /

    which verges on truth /

    and manic time continues scattering dust /

    and furious life bursts out in flames.

Stay by my side /

    as I fade /

    so you can point to the end of my struggle /

    and the twilight of eternal days /

    at the low, dark edge of life.

 

These lines are from the movie – Devils’ Backbone, that I saw a few days back and these lines occur at near end of a shattering climax…These lines are something I cant get out of my head..the lines are beautiful in their poignancy…
