I Die a Little More

What would you have me say I die a little each and every day? Those last few days and hours we sat silently together, you said it wasn't time, we should be ready for bad weather and I didn't have to stay, go, take a little break away. So, I slipped out with a quiet step, as i thought you peacefully slept, went to the store to get what I could get. Your sisters stayed and watching by the bed as death came knocking without pause they called to see where I was pulling in the drive, gusty winds blowing the clock stopped and time was in forever, slowing and every tear that fell that day tore at my heart and soul to say from now on, no matter what they say I die a little more each day.
