As you cling to this last fragile string of life
I’ll mourn you
As you wish it wasn’t slowly becoming night
I’ll wish that right there with you

but why can’t I do more to stop this,
why am I becoming used to
this dark absorbing shroud called death?
Why must it tear away the ones I love?

I watch them all fall away
watch their sparkle fade
as I scream
please stay!

I’ll hold your hand
and tell you it will be alright
but after you go
I will be far from fine

You will stop hurting
but how will I cope
how can I let go
when you aren’t here to hold me?

We’re all trying to be brave
but this pain is seething under the surface
I don’t want you to be among those
whom I’ve loved and lost

your memory cannot warm me
your memory will rend more holes in me
your memory will never be all that you were
but I will never let it fade.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold

Death... *hugs* A subject that looms over us all like a shadow. We may ignore it for a time, but it always comes back to remind us of it's power. I'm truly sorry you're in such a position to have to worry so much about a loved one. I'm not ashamed to say I'd switch places with anyone for an instant if it would spare them that pain and worry, yourself included. I wish I could say more, but words of comfort are not my specialty. Just remember this: That I am here, to give what comfort I am able. And take solice in this: when a person dies, all they really have is their legacy; the way they are remembered by those they loved. Remembering may not be the easiest thing to do, but it is the most honorable.
