The rope is getting slippery
The end of the tunnel seems so far away
The sunshine has left this world
The birds have stopped chirping
I'm trying to hold on
But I'm not sure if I really can
The children run to the ice cream truck
The little girls play with their dolls
The babies cry as they open their eyes for the very first time
All of their lives are ahead of them
As I drift away from mine
It hurts so bad
It hurts to see everyone in this much pain
It hurts to see them wishing I'll make it
I wish I could tell them how much I care for them
I wish I could tell them goodbye one last time
But the words won't come
They told me this would happen
But I always figured I'd be an exception
I thought I could be different from the others
But as the breaths become harder to come out
The more I realize that this is it
After this, I no longer will be
I wish I could have done everything I've always wanted to do
I wish I could have fallen in love
I wish I could have grown older
I wish I could have graduated
I wish I could have lived
I'm getting closer; I can feel it
I can see fear taking over their bodies
Like ghosts taking away their souls from within
I wish I wouldn't be putting them through this much pain
He holds my hand tightly
He's done so much for me
If only I could thank him
But instead I just hold on
Until I no longer can do anything
And let go...
