Love beyond death

I would like something romantic in a deadly way.....something along the lines of...

In his last breath
He whispers "I love you"
In her last ounce of strength
She reaches for his hand
And they die just as they lived,
Together.

other than that, you have creative freedom,
DON'T MAKE ME REGRET IT.

Come on POETS make me proud!!!!

P.S. This Is my response to this prompt. Comment please??

    THIS was the HARDEST thing in the world to judge. I loved almost all of them and I have to admit each of the preliminary finalists made me cry. *Pathetic I know* You all are so talented and their was only like one poem in the entire 34 that I didn't absolutely love. Please leave your poems in this contest, even if you didn't win because i will be revisiting them frequently. I am so beyond pleased. I'm completely amazed. Thank you all so so so much

    I don't mind that I didn't place, I usually don't, but I felt almost insulted when I read the poem that won gold. Normally I wouldn't bother mentioning this, but after reading it, I was blown away that you gave it the gold and not a better poem, like, say, "Withering Heights".

    Well, whatever. Congrats to the winners, I guess.

      I'm sorry that you dont like my choice but the gold poem struck a chord in me. I did this contest for a reason. In dedication of a loved one who has died and that poem was so like him. So like the way things happened. It was really cool for me to read. Im really sorry if I've insulted you.
      Anyways, like I said their was only one I disliked, and the rest of them I absolutely loved. Yours was NOT the one I disliked. Your poem Nocturne was very very well written. I really enjoyed it and i completely wish I could have awarded everyone (except that one). Once again I'm sorry to dissapoint, Never my intention I assure you.

        No need to apologize or reassure me about my poem--it's your contest, your points, your decision. Obviously I don't agree with it and 99% of the time, I'd have kept my mouth shut (or, in this case, my hands still). I suppose this is the other 1% and felt compelled to say something. It's nothing personal. I was just floored that a poem riddled with so many errors could win.

        Well, whatever, it's probably best I just stop talking now. Sorry for being an ass.
