Pulling the Plug
I saw the pain in your lifeless eyes
Unable to speak, unable to feel
Laying there not knowing if it's a dream or real
A monitor and tubes,, keeping the nightmare alive
I'm sure this is not how you chose to survive
The Doctors give no hope
No chance to thrive
Now it's my decision,
a life and death in my hands.
Do I pull the plug or take a stand
Then I see the pains in your lifeless eyes
Perhaps your eyes beg me to let you die
My tears and fears are just a lie
I pull the plug and say goodbye
It's the hardest choices that make one cry
