Saying Goodbye

There you lay
So stiff and cold
Pale skin
And soft heartbeat

Here I sit
On a chair
By your side
Now and always

The nurse comes through
She says bad news
I began to cry
I was frozen still

When the nurse spoke
I think my heart broke
I held your hand
Held it close

I sat on the bed
Curled up to you
Closed my eyes
And say goodbye
