Darkness Nearby
There are things
he won’t tell me as his wife
like how he’s worried
death is near and
he’s letting us down
He wants to be strong
and grab the control
but feels weak
as time slips
through his fingers
And he hasn’t the
strength to scream
while keeping his eye
on that dark tunnel
here nearby
he's worried
but doesn't let on
