What you do
Is give me experiences anew
Hours passed with you
become mere moments
That are stolen away so quickly
But I treasure
every second we spend
Laughing and talking
Kissing and walking
Singing and rocking
Out to different tunes in my heart’s radio
They’ve all been stored
In my mind
As glimpses of
a time so kind
I desperately wait
Till the next time
I can kiss you with my gaze
Because I want these moments
To turn into days

You faded
Everyday
Right before me
Withered away
Confused and in pain
For everyone to see
Your skin whitened
Your face thinned
That ghoulish look would be
My final memory
I cared
And fed
And held
And led
And loved
And said
That you were not going to die
Such a hopeless lie
At least
The night before
your life passed by
I stared into
your barren eye
And tearfully signed goodbye
