Shallow

I see your failing body
I hear your heart beat slow
I'll hold your hand till it's over
I swear I won't let go
I see the fear in your eyes
I know your scared, so am I
But I won't leave your side
In the silence I can hear you sleep
Your breath is shallow but the sound is deafening
If you can hear me know I'll never leave
I'd give up anything
To keep you with me
You were the strength that I always clung to
You held my hand in every storm I walked through
And even though so many times I fought you
I hope you know how much I love you
You gifted me with a purpose
That's Something I could never repay
All I can do it's try to deserve it
I know you'd want me to be brave
So I'll smile wide and dry my eyes
And remind you of all the good times
Well laugh till the rhythm of your heart has fallen quiet
In the silence I can hear you sleep
Your breath is shallow but the sound is deafening
If you can hear me know I'll never leave
I'd give up anything
To keep you with me
I don't know who I would be without you
It's getting harder just to breathe without you
You were the strength that I always clung to
I hope you know that I'll always love you
I am suffocated by the knowledge that in a few days I will have to
Choose box for you to rest in
As if anything other than you living is what matters to me
I'm afraid that when the minister stands up to speak blessing over
Your life and death
Those words will not provide comfort for you or me or anyone
It will be nothing more than a hollow
Script somebody is getting paid to read
So is that how I will remember you?
You built your life up for so long only to
Become an incentive for others to try a little harder?
We both lost our normal when you started to fade
My new normal is my throat closing
Over a whisper of rest easy at your wake
In the silence I can hear you sleep
Your breath is shallow but the sound is deafening
If you can hear me know I'll never leave
I'd give up anything
To keep you with me
