• As I Listen...

    As I listen to your heart
    thump,thump,thump against
    your chest I fill my eyes with tears.

    As I listen to the machine
    next to you beep,beep,beep
    I feel defeat from the disease
    inside you.

    As I strongly clinch the sheets
    next to me I listen to the sounds
    around me.

    Thump,thump,thump is your heart,
    beep,beep,beep is the machine,
    and drop,drop,drop is the tears
    that fall from my face.

    And as I listen to the final
    breaths you breathe I sing
    a sad song.
