So very slowly

As she was holding my hand,
She was taking her last breaths,
She was still holding my hand,
Still breathing so very slowly,

Her words were slurred,
She was mumbling,
Her words were slurred,
Still talking so very slowly,

As she lies in the hospital bed,
All she thinks about is death,
As she lies in the hospital bed,
Still dying so very slowly

She wants to go home,
She would prefer to be in her own house,
She warns to go home,
Still wishing so very slowly,

She's 91,
She's so frail,
She's 91,
Still wishing to die so very slowly.

She wishes she would die,
She will be happy,
She wishes she would die,
This pains me so very quickly.
