Take me to deaths door
There’s no pretending anymore
Pretenses melt away
There may not be another day
As I hold your hand to take you through
The uncertainty, fear, emotions ensue
Scared inside, feeling blue
By your side, I’ll be with you.
The past lies dormant
Like it should
Life’s difficulties and challenges
Forgotten where they stood
These moments, raw
Unfettered truth be told
Compassion and love
My heart does hold
As I hold your hand
Your journey is near
Not alone for your transition
When it may appear
The loss already stinging
My heart filled with pain
To know you’re saying goodbye
To never see you again
Hopes and dreams
Ideas gone awry
Plans dissipate
Loved ones die
