Burden
And now the time is here for me
To say my last goodbyes
Buy you shouldn’t grieve or feel a loss
For shortly, I will rise
I lay here in my hospital bed
So frail, and oh so weak
No energy to carry on
No strength left so to speak
These final, crucial hours,
The ones we spent together
Will stay in the place where they belong
That’s in my heart forever
Don’t cry for me, Don’t sob for me
Don’t walk away in fear
The time has come for me to go,
Now please don’t shed a tear
If you should come and kiss my hand
Please make it last this time
For no matter how much we pray and wish
I’ve been defeated by this crime.
