A Dieing Loved One

A loved one is dieing
What can I do
Everyday is hard
Your feelings come unglued

Your so helpless
As you watch them fading away
And all you want
Is for them to just stay

You think about all the "what ifs..."
And "whys..." out there
But all you come up with
Is life's unfair

As they give their last words
You say not to talk that way
Although, in the back of your mind
You think, "what does he really have to say?"

You don't admit it
But they're leaving fast
And no matter what you think
Someday they're gonna pass
