Amidst her dying eyes

Somewhere in the sparkles,
amidst her dying eyes
The pain she felt was visible
Where her corruption lies.

Now it's all so clear,
Of how all this began
It started with a family
Who lost a loved old man.

The first nights without him
were hard for her to bear
what was to be of her life?
was she going anywhere?

Her children and her grandchildren,
they tried to help her through
but she'd given up completely
and there was nothing we could do

So many years sat in her chair
her body stiff and still
Her organs slowly dying
Just waiting for the kill

Her social life was ditched
She'd lost the will to care
The only thing she wanted
Was her family always there

She once had been popular
Had a life that she adored
Everything was lovely
She didn't need much more

But the day that grandad left us
Nana's soul went with him too
For years we watched her go down hill
For that's all that we could do.

I miss you dearly Nana
I wish you could have hung in
I wish that you used your body
then death would be a far off thing

To this day I wonder
What life would have been like
if dear grandad hadn't left us
Would everything be right?
