My last breath

I am just a shout away-
You had said.
You had promised
To be by my side,
Whenever I would call you!

I stare at the door,
Tirelessly-
The eyelids refusing to blink,
As tears wet the tattered pillow,
yet again!

I know you would come!
You were my last breath
Forty years ago,
You are my last breath
Tonight.
