It's Painful To Watch You Go
I am having a contraction
In my heart from the distraction
That my tear stained eyes are seeing
I am not truly conceiving
This sight that's in front of me
The torture and misery
That its causing is just wrong
But I have to be so strong
And put on a happy face
Never showing there's a trace
Of horror inside my soul
I have to keep it in control
As I walk into the room
That is dark and filled with gloom
Seeing tubes to help you breath
It's hard to really look and see
How peaceful you are lying there
And all I can do is stare
At the condition you are in
My whole world just took a spin
The day you fell to the ground
In a coma's how I found
The only guy that I have loved
Now it's come to push and shove
As the doctors do their best
Taking every single test
To keep you well and alive
But it's getting hard to strive
When what they've done is not enough
Now my choice is really rough
To pull the plug and let you go
Peacefully, but I don't know
If I should watch your heartbeat
Flat line, losing every beat
Of a heart that captured mine
But I know it is a crime
To make you suffer like this
So I gently give a kiss
And watch as you fade away
On this painful and sad day
