Goodnight Dear Grandmother

You fell over, nearly dead
you head wouldn't stop bleeding
we rushed you to the hospital
we thought you could make it
you did, at least for a while...
so you came and left the hospital
you sat at home, breathing on batteries
not much left in you, i loved you
i visited as much as i was allowed
we gave you a milk shake, a treat
later you went back to the hospital
leukemia, thats what they told me.
she had leukemia and wouldn't get better
now she lies in the hospital, and i sit
i sit, waiting for her slow painful death, that i wish to go away
the reaper's paying a visit to my poor, dear Nana.

o how i remember the coke floats we made together when i came over
we watched TV all day, to be lazy
but now you must watch TV in a hospital room with your neighbor.
I'm all alone in this cruel world. i love you and goodbye.
