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
