Body now deteriorating; feeding tubes and life support,
A pain left so deep within me that I could never abort,
These are the last memories of you I will have; the last I got,
Holding this pain inside; tying my heart into a knot.
Hoping you'd heal; hoping to never need to pull the plug,
Praying you'd get better; and I would get another hug,
I began to think you'd get well but things to a turn for the worse,
My parents talking on the phone with a doctor or a nurse.
Last minutes of life long since flowed down the drain,
A release from the body aged; released from the pain,
I never got to say what I wanted; never got to say goodbye,
