Rivers of Gold
"Rivers of Gold"
Can't sleep thinking of what's to come
Such a significant part of me has fallen ill
Please God take me not her I pray on bended knee
Selfishness conquers my fragile mind while dealing with inevitable truths
Drinking to soothe the mind of all that is devastating
Repressing the thoughts of living without you
Laughing at naughty jokes to ease the tears that are streaming
God please take me instead of her, not worrying of how the consequences would affect her
Talking about what if's of doctors speech
Knowing my opinion is all that matters on how we progress
Feeling I am following the same path I'm unable to stop
Progressively I do more and more so dreams are of sleep not pain
Believing that tomorrows decisions are for the better not the worse
Knowing either way only God makes the final decision
I slam myself onto my knees forcing myself to pray in tears of pain
I pray dear God allow my mother to live so she sees the rivers of gold not the oceans of heaven..
