Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To watch a candle melt away Into a puddle of itself Or to wake up one day and the flame be gone. Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To know the storm is coming And live in endless cloudy days Or to wake up during a flood that washed your loved one away. Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To know the Reaper is coming And live in constant fear Or to wake to the smell of sulfur that let's you know he's been there. Death or deterioration I don't know which I'd choose Because no matter which fight you fight In the end you're still gonna lose.

Death or Deterioration
Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To watch a candle melt away Into a puddle of itself Or to wake up one day and the flame be gone. Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To know the storm is coming And live in endless cloudy days Or to wake up during a flood that washed your loved one away. Death or deterioration Which is more painful to see? To know the Reaper is coming And live in constant fear Or to wake to the smell of sulfur that let's you know he's been there. Death or deterioration I don't know which I'd choose Because no matter which fight you fight In the end you're still gonna lose.
Just a few words about living with a terminal parent. Inspired by a quote from my friend Alexandra Shaw
