Cannot, Without You

You lie there and I wonder

I hope you feel alright

I’ll stay right beside you

I’ll stay till morning light

Your face looks so peaceful

But your body’s wracked with pain

I try to stay optimistic

But I can’t ignore that bloody stain

Your hands are growing colder

Your breaths become so shallow

The roses in your cheeks fade

Your skin looks so sallow

Please don’t leave me here alone

Please don’t ever go

I cannot live with you

Oh! How I love you so!

Your hands are shaking so much

But I just can’t tell why

I drop it once and gasp

The gasp turns into a sigh

I stare at your sleeping face

Surrounded so by white

There must be something there

That will stay with me and fight

Your eyes flutter slightly

I can feel your flickering pulse

It slowly stops its beating

But no! It must be false!

You cannot leave me here alone!

Please come back to me!

I cannot live without you!

Oh please, can’t you see?
