Goodbye
The nights are dark and no longer cold
It's just scorching heat
The pain has become unbearable
And I can't seem to sleep
It's been about two months now since I've felt this way
I'm starting to believe this might be the end, what can I say
I've missed five appointments and I've stopped taking my meds
The only thing I seem to do is lay in my bed
I can feel it in my bones, I can feel it in my heart
The one thing I won't touch again is the one thing that tore me apart
I sit at home and cry all day but there are no tears to show
This disease has taken control of me and it has stolen my glow
I think it's time to let them know that my time will soon be up
I feel so cold my lips so pale
The suffering will soon stop
My heartbeat races, my whole life flashes, my lungs they start to fail
And now I know just how it feels, my last breath, I exhale
