Sleep

Don't obsess about death... It will be here soon... There are more pleasant things on a summer afternoon... My IV isn't as comfortable as before... Hallucinations of water on the floor... I grip but can't hold... I see but can't see... You've always meant so very much to me... I cough and I breathe, but it's hard to conceive, that the air in these lungs will soon make its leave... Leave me alone, just let me sleep... The secrets I have, I promise to keep...
