plea

 
keening deep within
melodic pain plays quietly
the victim stirs
a casualty of fate

designed to fail in time
the body withers away
and inside I break

there is no reprieve
my delsuions carry me away
my heart can't face the news of today

thoughts darken then grow bright
let strength find me
give me succor in my time of need

I'm in shock and don't know how to cope
carried away on a river of tears
sighing within feelings like I might faint

my husband is my life
I'm no good on my own
he is the bright part of me

without him dread looms
and my fears grow large
darkness prowls then feeds off my doubt

God don't let him die first
