Tears could not wash the pain inside of me
I stand in silence
While you lay in your bed
So pale
So weak
So battered
So fragile
Hope springs eternal they say
But you’ve given up the fight
a long time ago
I know
You’ve accepted your fate with
Dignity
I thought I died more than once
While standing alone inside that
Cold cold quiet room
As you close your eyes
And took your last breath
Goodbye, dear friend.
