Deserved Better
Alone in a dim, silent room, we wait around
The occasional stir or cough the only sound
A sweet smell of sterile is almost too much
Clean and crisp seem offended by my touch
Is this how it is going to be for both of us
To celebrate our lives so quiet without fuss
I really want to wake you but I don/'/t dare
I/'/ll keep sitting here with my vacant stare
We had it all throughout these many years
There was sun, and rain, laughs, and tears
Remembering how it was, way back when
Can/'/t help questioning why /'/this/'/ is, then
Life was for living, so into tomorrow we slid
Every new day, that/'/s exactly what we did
Did we do wrong, well, of course, we had
We were young, fearless, really quite mad
Not a care to be found, none ever bought
Yes, we were immortal, or so we thought
It was just a game to play for you and me
Winner laughs last, no rules, we were free
How could you leave me, I/'/m older than you
You are but a child compared to me, it/'/s true
And you are taking something I held dear
From the day we met, it was yours, I fear
In shadowed silence with tears painting my face
Will you please wake so we can leave this place
I always have and still to this day, love only you
Don/'/t you know we still have lots of living to do
Sadly, I/'/m trying to figure out what went wrong
You/'/re lying there and I can tell it won/'/t be long
Overheard them say that sound is Death/'/s Rattle
I guess you/'/re very tired of this despicable battle
My musings are interrupted with much disgust
They keep coming in here to fiddle and adjust
You/'/re leaving me now, this much is known
Here I am, crying, I was, always, yours alone
Yours alone and you/'/re leaving like it/'/s nothing
Still I wish I could take away all your suffering
Nothing for the cancer eating you from inside
And nothing for the pain of how you finally died
Gazing at the face I had loved for eons untold
Your tiny hand in mine, limp and so horribly cold
For us to part this way, seems I/'/ll never know why
I lean in for one last kiss, goodbye, my Love. Goodbye.
