Slowly dying

by ElegantlyWasted   Dec 2, 2004


I'm to afraid to move
And i just want to cry
Life is leaving her
I know she's going to die

No please god don't
Don't take her now
I want to talk some more
I just don't know how

My head starts to spin
And my heart begins to race
The air is getting tighter
I just want to see her face

Her parents are not coming
Don't they want to see
I know their daughters dying
But this just can't be

You don't just leave someone
To cope all on their own
She's only eleven years old
So why is she alone?

Her eyes are always red
And her voice is getting weak
She sleeps for hours on end
Through tubes she must eat

Wires and cords surround her
Her bodies caught in a web
Nurses test her breathing
Wiping flannels on her head

Sweat runs down her arms
But she doesn't move a bone
Doctors touch her toes again
This is her only home

Her face is always pale
She has hardly any hair
Her fingers won't stop shaking
I hope she knows I'm here

She holds on today
But only by a tread
I know that she is happy
And that soon she will be dead

Sleep well my little angel
You can watch from up high
I know it's sad you're gone
But now it's time to spread you're wings and fly.
