Your arms are scarred
Your light is failing
Your body broken and withering away
Crushed by disease
I watched your hair thin and your eyes sink
Your skin clings tight
Mostly bones now
I saw the end and I never stopped loving you
This is a heartbreak so complete and irreparable
This is the end
Take me instead
Too young. Too beautiful.
I would give anything for it to be me instead
You fade away
The distance pulls us apart
If only it could be me instead
Never ending, dreamless sleep sounds like heaven to me
