Life changes
Everything we once knew, gone
Your life is slipping through my fingers
I whisper, please don’t go
You do not hear
Faint heartbeat barely ticking
Tears streaming from my face
I can’t lose you, not now... not ever
Stuck behind layers of protection
I can’t touch you
I just want to touch you once more
Feel your warmth against mine
Kiss your lips, and feel secure
Please don’t go
I can’t do this alone
You promised me forever
Invaded by an invisible enemy
You fight a never-ending barriage
Your body, a war zone
I am helpless
Watching
Waiting
Supporting from the sidelines
I plead
Please spare him
