June
The stories you told
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
We spent hours by your side
While you told stories to pass the time
You felt like a stranger
And I pretended that was fine
Phone calls in the hallway
While people spoke under their breaths
I paced around the hospital
Because I couldn't do anything else
The stories you told
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
And on the day
That we left
When we spoke for the last time
I'm sorry I was so distant
I just really didn't want you to die
The stories you told
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
Every day it felt the same
Watching you wither away
You'd had enough
And were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain
Of watching her grieve
You'd had enough
And were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain of watching her grieve
Saw her heart break as you lay there in pain
The room filled with silence we fought to maintain
Our hope
As the beat in your chest
Came to an end
As you took your last breath
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
We spent hours by your side
While you told stories to pass the time
You felt like a stranger
And I pretended that was fine
Phone calls in the hallway
While people spoke under their breaths
I paced around the hospital
Because I couldn't do anything else
The stories you told
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
And on the day
That we left
When we spoke for the last time
I'm sorry I was so distant
I just really didn't want you to die
The stories you told
As you waited to die
I wish we could take you back
To a simpler time
Your body was dying
But your mind stayed in tact
I knew you were ready to go
But you held on to say your goodbyes
Every day it felt the same
Watching you wither away
You'd had enough
And were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain
Of watching her grieve
You'd had enough
And were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain of watching her grieve
Saw her heart break as you lay there in pain
The room filled with silence we fought to maintain
Our hope
As the beat in your chest
Came to an end
As you took your last breath
