There is so much
left unsaid
Words will go on
forevermore
As I sit next
to her bed
With all the words
that needs to be said
I hear her feeble breath
laborious gasping
If I utter a word
I know I won't stop
But in her condition
will she hear any of it
In my heart of hearts
I hope she does
But it will satisfy no one
but myself
Wishful thinking
that will be
For I will know
the truth of it
That it will all be words
carried by the winds
Words that would
satisfy all her questions
Words were the
answers she needed to hear
Words she longed for
and clung to life for
Words that ...
"We're turning the machines off,
I'm sorry but she's gone."
... that matters?
