Hospital room

I am trying to get on with my life,
Trying to forget that night
But I am stuck sitting by his side
Trying to fight the tears in my eyes

Holding tight to his cold hand
Like it was my life line to him
Watching the machines flash
Waiting to see him crash

The machines start to shut down
But his face shows no frown
He knows its him time
And he has accepted it as fine

We all sit there knowing,
The tears in our eyes are flowing
The truth we must accept
And we must do it without regrets

And even though all this I know
My true feelings I can not show
Because here inside my head
I am sill sitting next to that hospital bed.
