I drop to knees.
And start to pray.
That all your sufferings will go away.
And you will live to see another day.

I see,
You lying there comatose.
The tubes keeping you alive,
Standing in a circle, holding hands hoping you will survive.

But death doesn’t know what I’m feeling,
He can’t even understand.
And if he takes you tomorrow,
My tears will drown the land.

Now you’re free,
Your soul drifting far away.
Leaving a body frozen,
Because of the life you had chosen.

But death doesn’t know what I’m feeling,
He can’t even understand.
And if he takes you tomorrow,
My tears will drown the land.

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
