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
