She knows death is coming;
She’s losing her light.
She’s weakening her soul,
Too tired to fight.
She knows she can’t hold on long.
She knows she’s going to be lost;
But she most save her loved ones;
Though her life is the cost.
The last strength she has;
Though her nerves bar her still.
She tightens her grip,
And succeeds in her will.
Her mere distraction;
Was enough for him,
To escape as the sun,
slowly started to dim.
He didn’t want her to go;
But she did anyway;
He would’ve done anything;
If she could only stay,
Her rose red lips are white now;
Her bright blue eyes; gray.
Her body is limp now.
Because she did anyway.
