rest my love

breath by breath the unsteady rhythm of death
shadowing your soul the angels are waiting for you
medicated now for comfort
the doctors know what they won't tell me
I'm losing you for the last time

my heart swells, I desire to save you from that demon
but I realize living is sometimes too painful
somehow I know I failed you utterly and it's too late
for the days in the sun, I thought we would have

look on me kindly when you can
my soul found yours in the end
my being always loved you
with every bit of me

sacred trust I have to let go
before you are ripped from me
coming close I don't wish to wear you out
leaving I don't want to leave you alone

lingering in the heavens
a new journey to begin
my prayers are you meet some kind people there
