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

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
